Yeah, I was thinking around $300 to panel beat it. Not really too much to fix really.

If your after pricing you'd be better off talking to someone in australia.

I'd double what people have been quoting above. Australia is stupid expensive.

Hopefully I can find a lancer trunk alright. If not, hopefully panel beater won't cost too much.

My dad backed into my Corvette (never park infront of the driveway)

$2200 later we both learned our lessons

I was sleeping and my dad walks in and starts talking like someone died then he just says "I hit the Vette Sorry man"

I would just get a CF trunk
