please tell me that you meant to type " not ' - a 10' is 3/4 the length of the car. Really sorry to hear your misfortune.

Probally just a repair. My fiberglass man says repair is better, and only replaces if he has no other choice.

Price is anybodies guess. Get some estimates.

Sorry to hear, but good luck

Bummer! A good fiberglass man can repair anything. Get it to him quick so that he can fix it in time.
