<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(tibbykid91 @ Aug 24 2009, 06:09 PM) </div><div class='quotemain'>Yeah quaterpanels are bitchs when it comes to repairing them. Just my .02 if they didnt notice it when they gave you the first estimate, Im guessing that it is really, really small and unnoticable I would just pay the 500 and some dollars to repair the bumper and leave the dent.</div>

you're a genius because i decided that before i read this. great minds think alike smile.gif yeah if you look at the picture you cannot tell at all. unless you feel it with your hand no one notices so i think that's what i'll do. but still. the FML holds true.

Kinda odd that they would look at the damage and not notice this.

Check out Macco in Portsmouth, I've had a car re-sprayed over there and they did an excellent job for a decent price.

Or if you can live without the car for about a week take it to the vocational school on Witchduck, they did my grandma's car (fixed 2 dents in the bumpers, re-attached the plastic strip on thr driver side door, and complete paint job) for something like $450, granted that price was around 10 - 15 years ago. They do it cheap cause each class gets to strip & paint it, and her's came back looking as good as new.

I checked out the website hoping they did custom body work, saw this thought you may want to let them know (then ask for a discount):
