I wouldnt pay more than 250 to get that fixed.

I did this myself and never did body work before... I could fix that hit in two hours.. 900 dollars is insane. the shop that painted my rockers, also painted my MCM hood, did a perfect job with a perfect match for 500 dollars.. I suggest you look around. You dont want a new rocker, you just want it repaired.. 900 dollars would be the cost to remove the old glued on racker and replace it with a new one... there is about 800 in labor just to remove the rocker and put on a new one... which is not the way to go.



I had a local paint shop paint both rockers for 150 dollars.



Where did you get those scoops? Are they functional?
