Default wrecked my car

ok i wrecked my car... to the point its on the verge of being totaled... But if its not im trying to cut some costs here... It will need both driver and passenger side complete rear skins.. Anyone know of any stores online that sells these? the price i was quoted on them from the insurance was like 860 and 880 a side... Also will need a trunk panel or brace something like that... Im just trying to find a discount parts store that sells this stuff

Post some pictures of the damage. If the back is completely smashed it may just be easier to buy a roller and swap it all over.

No pics available yet.... I cant figure out how to bluetooth from my phone to here.

I really would rather keep the car and not xfer things over lol....


GMpartsdirect so far has the cheapest parts i can find, will save me so far atleast 1300$ off the list price on the parts.. Though i dont know what part i need for the inner passenger side rear quarter...


I thought about searching a junkyard and cutting the rear clip off but im guessing that would cost me atleast 500 and then i would have a tear down cost on used parts that will most likely need cleaned up and stuff too.

If anyone has these, this is what i need

passenger rear marker light
passenger side tail light
bumper cover
both driver and passenger rear full quarters
rear body panel
passenger side inner quarter, wheel well stuff like that

Buy a roller, cut the back half off of it, and weld it back into your car if your car is severely damaged. We did this with a honda accord, drilled out all of the spot welds and cut it right behind the b pillars and on the smashed car had the frame rails pulled and straightened and then re welded the back onto the original car....it looked great, and all of the parts you will need will be in the donor. The only hard part is the drilling, takes a while, and eats bits. You will find out buying a cheap roller for 800 bucks is much easier than trying to find all of the parts such as all of the inner fender pieces due to yours probably smashed.

We need some pictures to see what you have going on

I'm betting he spun out doing something stupid (no offense) and ended up hitting a pole or something rather large with the right side and a streetsign with the left. The left definitely looks like a streetsign did it.

Sad day for a nice SOM ws6..... Too bad both 1/4 are tack welded on in almost 300 spots each and will cost a shitload to replace... it was right at 5600 to replace ONE driver side 1/4 when some asshat backed into mycar.. Pretty expensive man.
