Thumbs down Car Accident: Need New Body Panel

Hey Everyone,

Last week I did a 180 on the 401 and bashed my car in bad. I was looking for a new body panel that would fit the damaged spot so hopefully the body shop wont charge me as much. Does anyone know any good sites that sell a body panel as big as I would need it?

Thanks

Well i had mine replaced but it wasnt that bad. Thats not a bolt on part, has to be cut out and re welded. Costed around 4Gs with the shop i went to

I bet that what the insurance company paid.

Ouch.. There's some cutting and welding going on there. I would either insurance claim that, or take it to a body shop.

to fix that properly, it would cost more than the car is worth. there is a lot of damage there.

call a wreck yard and see if you can get a hatchback rear end.
buying the quater panel skin alone from honda is not enough to fix that damage

Rear Panel

You need more than just a rear 1/4. You are looking more like rear bumper subframe parts as well. If the frame is toast then I wouldn't even worry about it because Insurance will just write it off. Like the one guy said try to go to a wreckers and get a rear end. There is definitely more than just a panels worth of damage there. I'd be more worried about when the panel comes off to see what is damaged behind it. I could get you a rough idea on OE parts and what they would cost if you wanted.
