*Accident* Rear quater panel hit, any help/advice?
Hey guys, its been awhile since i last posted =P
well what happened was i was late for a very important class, so i let my girlfriend drive me to class this mourning. She had done it before, but unfortunately today she did not yield properly to on-coming traffic while she was making a left turn. My passenger rear quarter panel area is really badly dented and half of my bumper is cracked/fell off. Does anyone know how much it would cost to fix this? Also would anyone have a extra rear bumper available for sale?
Thanks.
Here are some pics of the carnage:
(she took the pics)
p.s. my car just hit 100,000 miles too~

Doesn't look too bad. Remove the rear bumper and trunk liner to get to the quarter panel. I wouldn't replace the whole quarter panel on this one it doesn't look creased. Tap out as much of the dent from inside the trunk with a rubber mallet, (gentley) Then take the car to a body shop if you don't have experience in bondo and bodywork. Pick up a used rear bumper and this would be a good time to color match everything.

Dunno, the angle of the dent might make it pop out the other way with paintless dent removal if you just try to push it out, might need to have it drilled and pulled then re-finished, that is what i need on mine because of the angle of the dent and the fact that it's on the lip of the door cill

really...i think finding a bumper would be the hard part...i guess i gotta start looking around at junk yards. I would like to get a 94-95 bumper out of this deal. My friend is really good friends with a owner at a shop in Flushing NY, hes mostly in cosmetics but i guess ill go check him out first.
