as far as I know you cant get just a patch panel. You can buy the whole panel form the dealer. Its over $300 on line so who knows what your local dealer will want for it.

Its best to just get the panel from a good car in a junk yard.

Is there any reason it can not be pulled out. Unless its huge it can probably be pulled and fixed if you take it to a good shop. Normally I wouldnt say to pull out a dent thats very large but the quarter isnt a bolt on thing (which I am sure you realize) and if you dont do the work yourself (been there done that) it will cost a fortune to get done at a shop. Even if you go with a patch panel you will still have body work involved so you might as well pull it unless its badly creased.

Good luck

I Purchased a 94 maxima With a garbage job done on the rear quarter panel. To get it done right I was told $748. I am in NC.
