im guessing you hit a pole... when my rear qp was damaged (above the driver wheel) it wasnt as bad as yours. IMO to get it fixed good your looking at maybe 2500. it seems pretty deep and the gap between the hatch is f'ed

Ouch.... That's not going to be cheap with having to replace that quarter panel.

ouch.. how did that happen? hopefully someone wasnt trying to be tokyo drift..

joseph1 Sep 2, 2011 08:16 PM

Ya not happy about it at all...someone parked real close to me anf i was really paying attention to the car next to me and ...... The rest is history... Were can I buy a new rear 1/4 panel ...

my bandit Sep 2, 2011 08:22 PM

you might not need to buy a new rear QP. its welded in so thats going to cost a shit ton to get fixed.

joseph1 Sep 2, 2011 08:29 PM

Ya im sure its going too.. but I really wanted it fixed

joseph1 Sep 2, 2011 08:37 PM

Ya I really don't care u just want it fixed right

couldnt he just goto a junkyard and get a little more than he needs cut off and welded in place?

my bandit Sep 2, 2011 09:36 PM

he could but its the bodywork thats gonna kill him on that. i had that option with mine but it was the labor charge that killed it since theres so much more needed for welding and making the gaps right compared to just pulling out the dent

Double-aught_Z/28 Sep 2, 2011 09:36 PM

^If he has the skill to do that. Welding in patch panels and making it look like nothing ever happened is difficult. There's a reason good body men charge so much.

Have someone cut and weld new piece in place - some body shops do wonders.

Brangeta Sep 2, 2011 10:58 PM

You're probably going to want to get that dent removed instead of replacing with a new weld in panel.

check junk yards

joseph1 Sep 3, 2011 04:20 PM

Hey just want to make sure. A fire bird rear quarter is the same as a transam right

the_dragon Sep 3, 2011 04:24 PM

A firebird and trans am has the same quarter panels.
I don't think what year it is between 93-02 matters.

You wont need a new quarter panel. Mine was in much worse shape and my bodyman brought it out real well.

+1 a good body man should be able to pop that out

I did something much worse before. It cost me around 1500 to repair it. maybe a little more. Just got to find the right people I say man.
