    So I backed up into a pole...here's the damage...

    A body shop quoted $1500-$1700 to fix it. There's no way in hell I'm paying that for a car I paid $3,000 for, but I can't stand seeing it like this.

    I spent a couple minutes hammering out part of the dent from the inside, and I think I can make that part look better. Any tips on how the minimize how ****ty it looks? I'm buying a new tail light and trying to pull/hammer the dents as much as possible. Obviously the paint is going to be ruined, should I just put touch up paint over it or should I sand off the red/flaking paint first?

    In general any tips or advice on this nightmare of a DIY job I'm attempting?
