				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.

				Thanks guys. I wasn't sure if, since the panels are plastic, whether or not they came pre-painted. But pulling it and repairing in from the back is something I can do myself...  To add more detail, what I think happened is I got a cone hard right in the middle of the bumper. (DOH! Second gate. It had started raining and the course was wetter than I expected.) This pushed the bumper into the panel, which casued the crack... It's right at the corner of the quarter panel, where it curves inside to form the wheel well... I it literally cracked the fender linger in half too. So I must have really tagged it. DOH! -John |
