Uhh well check to see if his car happens to have any scrapes from the accident. And I would say that your going to haft to get a new rear corner panel.

I don't think there is anything you can do to fix that yourself unless you own a body shop and/or can do your own body/paint work.

Talking

If you have insurance you should be able to talk to them about a hit-and-run accident. Someone hit my front passenger grille abouta month ago took it to a paint shop we deal with and called the insurance co. and had them appraise the damage and was given a check a couple hours later and was fixed a few days later. Oh our insurance is State Farm and we didn't have to pay the deductible either. Hope this helps!!!!

Most insurance agencies have a low deductable and they'll cover the rest. State farm had a $250 deductable on my girlfriend's car.

i had $100 deduct with Progressive when i needed new passenger side rear quarter panel and a new (used) passenger door.

funny thing i had just had a big dent popped out of the quarter panel when someone did a hit and run while i was asleep. Some people are total dicks. Luckily there was no paint damage, so i could just get it popped out for ~$100.

New quarter panel (through dealership) runs like $500 (w/o paint)
