So yeah, picture explains itself. It's not the scratches I'm worried about. I buffed it all out. It's the fact that there's little dents all along the door and rear fender. How much would it cost to get it fixed? Someone hit my car while it was parked so there's not much I can do for that.

Call your insurance?

With the body work and painting, it will range up to atleast $1200-$1500 depending on how much the shops in SD charges.

It is a pita to pull out that huge dent.

fawkers. That's pretty bad, sorry you had to find your car like that. That won't be cheap, I'd say expect anywhere from 1200-1800 depending on the shop and how much work it ends up being.

your insurance should cover that as a hit and run

alternatively you could look at some junk yards. see if there are any 6th gens you can take the door from

The only thing that can be saved about the rear qrtr panel is to pop the dents out. they won't replace it, If they even decide to, it's be totaled kist for the welding work, the bondo, and grinding. the door is easy to find at a JY. Maybe. 1200 with qrtr panel work. **** the panel and maybe 800 with door and paint.

Most of the time having to weld a new quarter panel will be consider total. It's usually a $12,000 job for labor and parts and even some body shops will refuse to deal with it if they don't have the proper equipments to pull the frame straight.

This QP doesn't look too bad, but it will still be a huge PITA to pull it out.

Depending on who you insure with, hit and runs they will repair, but you'll just have to pay the deductible which is usually $150-$500 depending how long you've been using them. If you don't have insurance, you're out of luck and paying to fix that is gonna be a huge headache, unless you want to keep driving like that.

It sucks that a sorry excuse for a human being couldn't even leave their insurance info behind.
But just hit up your insurance it might not be a total loss if its not as bad as the picture makes it look...
