With my crappy luck I managed to hit my S13 on the other side but this time its not just a dent. Do you guys think this can be fixed or I have to replace the whole panel? :facepalm:

You could have a body guy cut the damage out and weld new metal in. Or maybe just bang out the dent & bondo it up and paint the area. Replacing the quarter panel is pricey - seems like overkill for this. How about overfenders? Good luck!

I always thought about overfenders but there aren't ANY in my country.. And to import them from abroad will cost more than the part itself.

About the bondo, I think it will crack after while. After a year or less. The previous owner who removed the stock spoiler filled the holes with bondo and now I have 2 cracks on each side lol...
