				I managed to crack the passenger-side front quarter panel on my car.... It's a very small crack, about an inch and half long, just above where the panel meets up with the front bumper... There's a small piece that's sort of bent back and jutting out now just above the bumper, where the crack happened.   Is there any way to repair this? I'd like to keep it from getting any worse... Or will I need to replace the whole quarter if I want to fix it? (In which case I'll probably just live with it...) I need a new inner fender liner, too... If anyone has a spare... This is for a 99 Camaro... -John edit: Yeah... It was one of those days... I LIKE 315-size 710s, though.

				You can probably take it off and repair it from the rear, peraps slap some two part epoxy on there, or maybe fiberglass on the back (although I'm not sure how the fibergalss will adhere to the composite plastic that the panel is made from). You can buy a replacement part for like $50 from chevypartspro.com or the like. Of course then you'll need to paint it. You can buy oem colored paint from http://www.paintscratch.com/. I think the paint will cost more than the part though. Fender liners are $30 from chevy parts pro as well. Ours has been rubbed through pretty badly for a couple of years now, and it's still in place. Jason |
