Someone hit my car today, the rear quarter panel is dented in a little bit, the passenger side tailight is done, from the sound of it, does it sound like something i could have done myself? I'll post some pictures very soon, that way you guys can see it. The reason I dont wanna do the insurance thing is cuz i parked at the Y illegally overnight so in a sense this is my own fault.

Yeah true, I'll go out in the morning and get some pics. I've been wanting to play with fiberglass for quite some time, cuz i did notice a hole in my rear bumper. Well car is parked legally now, lesson learned

let me see a pic, if it was a hit and run its not your fault, insurance doesnt have to know where you parked or how it was a hit and run
and do you have experience at repairing something like this i mean body work isnt as easy as you think it is

Doesn't look to bad, could have been worse. I noticed you mentioned the Razzi kit on your page, why don't you get in on the OSV kit buy?

oldsnut is right. I would try to salvage that tail light too. Put some clear lexan over it and make some clear tails

Naw, that ain't too bad. My hit and run incident was worse than that and it was fixed fine. It warped into my trunk and shit, like there was about a 90* bend on the edge where the weather stripping goes (supposed to be flat) and they fixed it all fine.
I had to pay a $200 deductible for hit and run through my insurance. They were gonna make me pay a $500 deductible for uninsured motorists instead, but we finally got them down to the hot and run.

dude it looks like the rear body panel is pushed in a bit no biggie, and it looks like the deck lid and the 1/4 moved as well, you getting "bondo" and fibeerglass mixed up ya might not want to tackle this repair
unless you have a frame machine, and have experience on that go forit, becasue it does need to be pulled
