My Gas Tank Cover Has A Nice Size Dent In It!!!!!

How much am I looking at? Its really a nice size dent on my gas tank cover. It really makes me car stand out. That is why I would like to get a new one. Does anybody know the cost? Was thinking of taking it to get fixed, but it makes no sense. Ill just buy a new one. Thanks

It can't hurt to get an estimate at a body shop. Even if you can find the part (junkyard, online, etc) you will still need to get it painted for it to look good. Get a few estimates for good measure. Probably won't be more than a few hundred bucks.

The fuel door on my '96 is perfect. It just doesn't close because the quarter panel around it is buckled thanks to a rear-ending in Janruary. People tell me all the time "your gas tank is open!" I've been thinking of removing it altogether and leaving only the gas cap.

Mine's been dented since I got the car. I'm not sure if I bought it dented or dented it shortly after. But my dent is small and not very noticable. I have no idea how it could have happened.
