Default Need advice on some cosmetic repairs for JK 2016 Willys Wheeler

Hello All,

I was in a small accident a while ago and got some damage on the jeep. The rear quarter panel, rear bumper and the front bumper are damaged or have dents. What is the best and most economical way to fix these? I would appreciate any advice.

for the quarter panel, the easiest thing is to just cover that dent up with some rear corner armor. they have both plastic stick on or metal bolt on (with nutserts) options, but y, going to be way cheaper than actually replacing sheetmetal. you might be able to pull that dent out some but not going to be perfect. in regard to bumpers, in many areas you can buy factory take off bumpers on FBM for super cheap.....likely $100 for front AND back together. if all you can find is faded, you could use something like Pentrol Flood on em to bring em back.

if you wanted, you could remove that front, drill a hole in the back where you won't see and try to push that dent out some with a little heat to help aid it.

The quarter is the one that would cost to repair. The dent can be pulled. If you go the cover route on the quarter just sand to get rid of the rust and treat with some primer. seal with a some paint. It doesnt have to be perfect if you are going to cover it.

The bumpers, as stated find some used takeoff's from someone replacing theirs. The can usually be had for pretty cheap.
