Default Rocker panel, rear bumper cover damage before and afters.

Hey guys, so let me start off with how this damage came to be.

The first one happened about a year ago when I took I hopped a curb leaving a gas station, it busted up the clips pretty good and left some love on the rocker.





A week ago I smoked a dumpster reversing in rage and put a nice gash in the bumper cover.





I always go to a "widely-known" shop to get estimates, mostly for laughs. I was quoted $2500 When I took it to a friend-of-a-friend's local body shop, he said he could "button it up" for $550. For a 178xxx mile, 13 year old car, a button up for $550 sounded much more reasonable than stuffing my bumper and rocker with $100 bills.

Bumper Cover:





^Look left of the two water streaks, there's a little crease.

Rocker :





Apparently I had done a good # on the rocker. Almost every clip was snapped and he had to melt the plastic piece back on and finish it. All in all, pretty happy with the price-result ratio . Look forward to everyone's response/opinions.
