if fender needs to be replaced, your looking at about 600 with parts and labor.

got the estimate for around 1100- 1200 but it will only cost me about 8. so i will get my car fixed and make a couple hundred...

since im gonna be in the body shop im gonna try to get my lip fixed, touch ups and get the chipped chrome window trim painted black.

so maybe this will benefit me in the end

Fender from Carson: $150, paint $50 - $100 depends on how much the body shop want to rip you off. replace after paint DIY or $50 labor. Much less than $800

ok for $800 i am getting my fender replaced and painted and pin striped because my car has them but they look ok. also blending on door. also im getting the plastic shield under the fender and molding. also i am getting my lip fixed... you can see the pic of my lip in the gallery or in the forum. its like a cleft chin/lip lol. and im gettin my flaked chrome window trim painted black but not sure if i should go gloss or flat. and finally im getting my rear bumper and pass door touched up scratches.

i think thats a pretty good deal
