So. Thats kinda what it takes to replace a quater panle. Then we blend the deck lid and the drivers side door.

Total cost will be around 2,000. No more rust. All fixed

Its not easy at all. I have seenmany apprentices just effing destroy new panles. So leave it to the pros like me

I hate to be the bodyman nazi but I've got to give my 2 cents..

I'm sure you can still get replacements but theres a few things to remember- cheap aftermarket replacements rarely fit well. Sometimes they take pushing, cutting, and shaving to get on the car. Some people will charge you more to do that. The 2 shops I've worked for charge 2 to 3 grand per side to replace quarters and paint and that doesn't include any further rust repair. Sure you can get it done for cheaper (those cheap prices are probably just for welding in a patch) but just realize that you get what you pay for. That kind of repair isn't recommended and probably won't be warrantied so when you're having problems in a year you're just out of luck. The rust you can see is only the tip of the iceberg. When I took the ground effects off mine there was a ton of rust underneath that I couldn't see with them on. If you've got visible rust above the moldings then it might be seriously bad under those things. The salty water just sits under those things and f's your car up.

Not sayin don't do it, just know what you're getting into. And absolutely don't try to do it yourself :P

Good luck man
