can this be fixed????

ok alst night i side swiped a concret median that they have over bridges, and it scratched up the passenger rear panel and has a few dents in it, nothing major, but is it able to be fixed at all from a body shop? i will have pics up in a few but as of now, can that rear qrt panel be fixed, by like popping the dents out or w/e?

drill a few holes, attach a slide hammer, no big deal. It can all be fixed. Bondo is your friend

My rear qt panel was dented. Not super bad but nothing small. I got it fixed no problem. Can't tell a thing.

It's true... some body guys are unbelievable. Don't worry about it.

i think i bent in my axel a lil bit, cause on my driver side the tires sticks out a bit, and then on the passenger side it looks like its kinda in, not showing the tires as much as it is on the driver side.....
what do yall think?
