my trunk was hit and dented really bad, would it be cheaper to replace it or to take it to the dealership for fix?

also would i need just a new trunk lid or the whole area would need new parts?

alot of times its' beest for a body shop to give an opinion because there may be damage to the area behind the trunk like where it locks. you can always get a used one and have it paitned to match your car instead of anew one if you want to do it yourself but have a body shop paint it for you.

the na trunk may fix it then it's kind ofhigh so i don't think any damage was done on bottom try the two places i sent you and then get it painted to match, don't do the painting your self as it'svry dangerous stuff with not much ventalation unles s you already are a painter.
