[QUOTE="BDRAG, post: 163488, member: 567"] AB, If the damage is all that small it should be repairable with near no body filler. Its the lower corner. A repair and a repaint will be no worse than a shop doing a tailgate from scratch! I think you have several options. 1: The fix you have been offered including the shop gettin your old tail gate is very fair. Not an out of bounds request by the shop. Whats offered for your trouble? FREE Liner. 2: You could have it repaired and still shoot for the FREE bed liner and wheel well treatment. The fix would be simple and if you have to have the tail gate replaced its gonna get painted. If the prep is correct on a repair it will be as good as if the same shop paints the new one. Prep work is the still critical. They would prolly just paint the bottom 1/3 up to the first rib. Or maybe the whole gate. Just think of all the disassemble / assemble work involved in new unit. Lots of room for error. 3: Have them buy you one of these and you get the tailgate fixed. [url=http://tiregate.com/ford_raptor_1.shtml]F-150 Raptor SVT[/url] Do what makes you happy. If it was me, I would repair my tailgate. It will take MUCH LESS TIME. Get it over with. Get what you can from the shop as reimbersment for pain and suffering and go on down the road. It was a mistake and they are working with you. Hell, bend it out and put an FRF decal over the ding! HAhahaaaaa. Sorry. Hope it works out for ya. BDRAG [/QUOTE]
