Maybe someone can help.

Hey guys my car looks like **** right now.
Someone kicked the door while it was parked and i was in safeway. so my driver side rear door has an ugly dent..
someone backed into my car breaking the right tail-light, bending out the bumper a bit. and bending the body slightly where the tail light meets flush with the body. and it cracked the paint.

now this weekend i got a flat from a pot-hole so im on a sweet donut.

my car looks like its right out of the junk yard right now and it is depressing that a 2005 wrx looks so bad.

i am just asking for any suggestions on how to get this all resolved as best possible.
the tire will be fixed by my friend at his shop, (he thinks the pot hole i hit cause the bead to come out, thus letting out all the air)


so i need help finding a new tailight as cheap as possible as right now i do not make the most. (anyone sell their 05 lights for 06 lights and have them sitting around for sale?? ive checked the classifieds and nothing)

i need a suggestion on fixing this crack in the paint because i can see some squirts of rust here n there along it. and that scares me. right now im thinking clean it up, and fix it with touch up paint that way its atleast sealed. and after the other stuff is fixed getting a shop to sand it and repaint the whole quarter panel.

any ideas to get that dent out with out having to pay a shop 200+ dollars as i have been quoted. dont mind paying higher cost for a good service.. but i just dont have the cash to do so. maybe a plunger?

thanks for any suggestions you guys can offer.

That really sucks, thats kind of how I was for a while, but I had my shop take care of it, but I had to pay to play

If you really want a shop to take care of that stuff let me know

yeah i just found a right tail-light on ebay in "great condition" for 50 bucks but reserve is not met. i will bid and see. the guy is located san jose.. maybe on i-club?

i am thinking about trying that ding-king dent remover to see if that will fix the door.

its just so depressing to see all this ugly stuff on a 2yr old car.
