Rocker Panel Damage

Do you think this could be repaired with some bondo? Or should I have it cut off and replaced. To have it cut its gonna cost about 2,000. Opinions?

touch it up best you can and maybe a lip kit(side skirt) can help? what did you hit? how is it from the inside when you open the door?

I would take it to the body shop and have it fixed right. You do have insurance don't you?

A limo cut me off on prom night last year and I hit a curb. The guy actually sped off and I didnt have a chance to catch the plate, and yes I have insurance.

You think that a lip kit would cover it well enough? This wouldnt cause any problems on the install would it?

I got the same problem except mine under my door and you cant notice it unless you look for it but a simple side skirt would cover mine up
