[DML] Re: Left rear quarter panel damaged

["DMC Joe" <dmcjoe@xxxx>]

Arthur ,

Stainless steel panel replacement is an art. Body repair specialists who can
efficiently repair these panels a far and few between. I have seen very few
repairs that bring the panel back to the "out of the box" factory look.
Panels
that have not been stretched, deeply creased, punctured, or ripped may be
candidates for repair. New panels are priced around $1000 and can be
installed by any competent body repair facility.

We suggest you send a photograph to one of the several stainless repair
facilities around the country and they will in turn quote you an estimate
and advise you if a repair is possible and cost effective.
