Default So I ran over a curb... *pic*

Can anyone take a guess as to how much it'll cost to fix something like this? Looks like it's a hard place to shape back the sheet metal. It was one of those island curbs that i didn't see (neither did my passenger actually) and when my front wheel came off of it, the curb went into the bottom of my car.

It's dented upward below the door sill more toward the front fender. Not too noticable but i'd still like to take care of it.

Can't see the damage too well from the picture. If it's the underbody, just use a hammer to hammer it back.

Yeah, it's not too noticable, but if you drew a straight line from the back wheel well to the front, you can see the front fender plus back a little got pushed up an inch or two.

i didnt really notice the damage until you drew the line. it doesn't look THAT bad. did it damage only the side skirt, or the fender as well?

also, i was wondering where you got your oem wheels powdercoated? i'm looking to powdercoat mine gunmetal. they look sweet.

I agree it could've been worse, but my car is my baby and no one wants a disfigured baby, haha! The side skirt is damaged as well as the fender. I'm just wondering how much would it be to shape/extend that section back down so it's all nice and straight again.

I got my wheels powdercoated black chrome at west coast powder coating in south san francisco (650) 871-0400.

Hmm... I'm not sure how much that would cost to fix. Does it look repairable, or would you rather have it completely replaced?

That wheel color looks sweet. Around how much would it cost to powdercoat all 4 rims? thanks for the number too :]

i wouldnt get it replaced..cause then i think you would have to cut part of your quarterpanel to get the rocker panel out. and thats a no no.. ive seen pictures of it before.
