That blows some serious ***, man - I'm sorry to hear about that

Depending on how pushed-in "crushed" is, I would have it pulled out instead of swapping out a quarter, but please do NOT quote me on this; I'm simply saying this based on what I've read here and a few pics that I've seen. Swapping a quarter can cost some serious bucks if you're not doing it yourself (and cost you some serious work if you ARE doing it yourself). Do you have full-coverage insurance? Depending on your deductible, they may cover a hit'n'run. Again, I'm sorry to hear about the IROC - it hits a little close to home since I have an '89

Id be checking the yard for signs of damage on another car or truck. AKA the sucker who hit you and left. Look for anyone driving a strange car out of the blue. Sucks when you can't even trust the people you work with.

UPDATE:

I got pics now...



You can see where I hit a deer(back in 2000)



Better pic.




And now for the quarter panel...



Its hard to tell what hit it, the contact point was round and maybe an inch and a half in diameter... the bumper cover got messed up too.

DAMN!!! YOu're going to have to cut and weld on a new one. That sucks, I've no idea of the cost, but it'll be alot. Maybe $400-800 just to have the quarter purchased and welded on?
