Oooh, thats some baad damage. Luckily the foglights, headlights, and especially the hood didn't get damaged. Those are costly things to replace.

As for the replacement fender. Have you checked ebay?
I just did a search for "GS300 Fender" and I found a couple interesting pieces.

Stock: about $200 per side shipped

Aftermarket fenders with "slots/vents" on the side. $500 or so for the pair shipped.

Oh ok. I was just thinking that you were gona get the fender and front bumper repainted at the same time...which you should. The shop shouldn't charge too much more if you do both at the same time. Every car will have a slightly different paint color even though it's the same paint code. Exposure to the sun, weathering, elements, and UV over the years etc will cause the paint to fade. If you just slap on any DPW fender from another car the color will be off by a bit. Thats why I suggested you to buy a new fender and get that painted and color matched to your car right off the bat. Also, finding someone with a spare DPW fender is gonna be pretty rare. Most cases where someone totals the car, the whole front end is destroyed. You might have to wait a year or two before one will show up, or if at all. Just giving you the facts here, I'll let you decide what to do. Either way, good luck getting your car fixed ASAP
