I bought my '98 camaro z28 a few months ago with these dents and i was wondering ballpark how much would it cost to fix? I don't want some crappy bondo job soo it would end up cracking on me and looking like ****. I'm thinking it's going to need a slidhammer and a stud gun to fix it because you can't access the rear quarters on these cars. I dont think it's that bad anyways soo i defently don't need it too be cut out and a new one welded in. Also how difficult is it too install a ss spoiler on the z28 model ? I plan on getting a ss style hood and having it repainted next summer.

 

ss spoiler is a direct fit.

 

I mean the wiring, because they have the third brake light in the spoiler.

 

dont stock ls1 z28's have the third brake light in the spoiler as well? or am i missing something here?

 

i think they do, i never looked at mine close enough.

 

yes the ls1 z's have a third taillight on the spoiler

 

Yeah, i'm looking for a used one, i see reproduction ones on ebay but i dont think i want one of those.

 

i heard alot of crap about the reproductions...with their crap fitment...starting to think i may have been one of the lucky ones with mine

 

Yeah i dont want to run into that, i think i'll just find a used one thats in good shape and that should fit alright.

 

You are probably looking at close to $1k to fix that dent. Do you want to replace or remove the molding on that side? That is a tough spot to pull a dent.

Tiny dent on a front fender of my DD cost me $500 to have a good friend fix. $1,500 quotes from 3 different body shops.

 

iono where your located, but i've gotten guys off craigslist to do the work on a couple cars, once on a leased car, stay on their a$$ while they're doing it and tell em you aint paying if its not PERFECT, and they do a pretty good job and charge abt half shp value and u can alwaysss bargain with them. the dealership never even noiced where the work had been done fwiw. alot of ppl may not want to have a craigslist guy do it, but i've had positive results, guess it depends person to person. craigslist ftw

 

Holy crap! What molding are you talking about ? If your talking about the door i'll prob just buy another door. I work at a toyota dealership detailing their used vehicle's and i'm right next door to the body shop which does any model cars. I might get a free estimate next spring.

 

I'm emailing people on craigslist right now to get their input/estimate.

 

You do realize that ANY body shop will give you a free estimate. I'm sure if you take your car to a few shops you'll get a much more accurate estimate that anyone on here can provide you.

 

Best option you have, go to body shops and tell them you want a quote on fixing this dent. They will give you your options and prices.

I am talking about the body molding that is just below the body line that runs from fender to fender. It is missing on the rear quarter and broken on the door, it wont be too expensive but will add to the cost of the repair. If you aren't worried about it you can completely remove it from the car.
