Guesses as to what this will cost to repair?

**Updated Pic: See below**

Right rear quarter panel got chewed up by a truck's lug bolts. I know the whole panel will have to be replaced

The damn thing extends all the way to the front of the car. And is practically a part of the body. Not a simple unbolt/bolt back on.

Bumper popped out and lost a mud guard in the process

Of course, the only non-removable panel lol. 3k or more is about right imo.

that sucks man, i had my quarter panel replaced before and it was about 3.4k in a toyota certified shop, (so it was kind on the expensive side)...it really depends on the shop and their labor rate, but with the bumper and quarter panel replaced your looking at ~4k.

contact your insurance company and take it to a body shop for quotes.

Well here's the 'After'.

All said and done, $1900.

And that's with a full panel replacement. Not just a bang out bondo fix.

I think it came out nicely.
