Re: What is this piece called?

so i'm going to assume that it has to be cut out and re-welded in for repair.. doesn't look like it comes out...
anyone know a rough estimate of how much replacing it would cost?

it's part of your frame, and it's in a very important area. any body shop should be able to ding putty and paint what ever shouldn't be.

My body shop called it a rocker panel. Mine had a few dents in it too. I think they pulled most of them out and then smoothed them over with bondo.

Yep it's a rocker panel, and it's a big deal to cut it out and replace it. Unless she's rusted through just repair it. As said before it's a major component of a unibody frame.

Re: What is this piece called?

I smashed mine up one time on a stump!

The body shop fixed it, they used bondo and painted it. Couldn't even tell after they were done, think it cost me $300 but I'm not sure it was awhile ago.......
