Hey I did the same thing just now. Any feedback on cost and issues with this that I could learn from? (Besides back up slower)

I ended up taking it to a reputable collision center in town and having them fix it right. Had to pay the insurance deductible but I think it was like 1500-2000 total. They cut out the rear corner and straightened the quarter panel. The paint is guaranteed for life and looks perfect. I ended up buying new smoked tail lights and a steel bumper and they installed it, insurance covered most of the bumper. Oh, and I spent the $30 on some temp mirrors when the doors are off…Good luck!

you have a beautiful 2020. You are going to want to have it repaired correctly. Since there is a crease and the paint is cracked, a paintless dent repair tech can make it look better but not great. Because the paint was compromised, rust and cossosion will be an issue if not repaired the right way. You might as well make a claim because the tail light, rear panel and bumper are not going to be cheap. I would have the shop quote you for the full repair and then only have them do the panel. Take the rest of the money and get an upgraded bumper and set of LED tail lights. Nice Jeep. If you dont repair it correctly, you will regret it either in loss of resale value or further problems down the road.
