Hit a high curb and dented lower door panel -what will it cost to fix?

[nemrut]

So i hit a neighbors excessively high driveway curb trying to make room for another car coming in the opposite direction and this is the result:








Any guesses as to what it might cost to fix? the bottom part is plastic so that should be easy but the door...oh the horror. I keep reminding myself life happens and it's just a car.

That lower rocker panel is not plastic, at least not on my Prius V, it seems like it would be aluminum. I was quoted about $500 to have it replaced, and painted to match. Luckily, in my case, the door has no damage. If you need to get that repaired, I would assume it would potentially cost a few hundred more, depending upon whether the scratches there break the paint, etc.

Please keep us posted, so that we all know what these repairs cost.

It doesn't look like there's any break in the paint on the lower rocker panel so you can buff them out to make them unnoticeable. However, you're stuck with fixing the door or learn to live with it. It's not that bad.
