It doesn't need new quarter panels, just pull the dents out. All it looks like to me is a tail light, rear bumper, and pull the dents out of the quarter panels. It's really not that bad at all. Yeah, I would be pissed if I got hit like that, but it's not as bad as you're making it out to be.

I agree. . . I bet there is frame damage. Those wrinkled quarters do not look good at all.

dude don't sweat it, your very lucky you didn't get hurt. Since they rear-ended you, the insurance will cover all of it at no fault to you. I herd of people being rear-ended and getting horrible whiplash that lasted for a long time.

haha I was expecting WAYY worse. It doesn't look that bad. I don't think it'll need go get the frame straitened out, he couldnt have hit you over like 10 mph your spoiler isn't even damaged. GL

My car has been an everyday driver for 4 yrs never even had a close call and drove like a complete lunatic,lost my car to the body shop for 2 months this summer for some gfx and paint, got it back and 10 days later got rearended by some drunken dickbag! It destroyed the FG bumper! replaced the bumper all is well right? NAH! coming home from work last week some kid was playing w/ a R/C car on a side road, shot it out under my car as I was driving by,ran it over, and the thing wedged between the rear wheel and the wheelwell thus cracking it (the side pannel of the bumper). been thinking of changing my name to "MURPHY"

dude i destroyed a quarter and had to replace inner and outer bumpers and the opposite (not direct hit quarter) was wrinkled almost exactly like that.......well long story short: a subframe rail was bent up and when the frame shop pulled it out the quarter pulled straight (I had more damage than either of those quarters on your car) and just need a little bit of dent pulling to aviod having to put any large amount of filler crap on it. The frame rail that was bent had a new piece sectioned in. Man you should get away with under 6K easy. Honest opinion but it's my 2 cents. Good luck man, your car is nice man hope you get it back on the road soon!
