Maxine was violated (re-post from general)
Last Saturday night some fu(ker decided to bump my driverside fender and leave no note....whatever I am now responsible for repairs, I went to the body shop we have been using for upteen million years and he quoted me $500 for a new fender painted and installed! Any suggestions on where I might get a better deal on parts? JRnissan had a great price, but shipping was like $40. I'll post pice tomm. Thanks in adavance! I am in upstate NY...

It just happened to mine as well a basket at Albertsons rolled down a hill and crushed my front passenger fender 1.5 weeks ago. My estimates are alot more from 1,080-1,400 because they want to blend the door and hood and bumper and I dont want all of that stuff painted. Im going to try to find a painted fender from a wrecked one and install it myself.

On a related note, the other day, I was in the massive parking lot for the Kohls/Super Target here in Woodstock and I saw a shopping cart loose and going top speed across a completely empty section. For some reason the voice of Mel Gibson yelling "FREEEEEEDOOOOM" from braveheart popped into my head.
I was laughing pretty hard, I'm sure everyone that saw me thought I was insane.

I have spoken with 3 different places only one has told me to blend! It is a late production 2000, when I had the spoiler put on the paint matched perfectly, so I am assuming there is no fading on my paint. I have been outside for the past 2 hours pulling the dents myself so I can deal with it till spring. I was having my stillen kit painted and installed for $250 and now its gonna cost me $625 for everything!!!!! OK deal considering the best price I got for a fender painted/installed was $465 so I am saving like $90 by waiting till spring! I'll post pics in alil while I think cardomain is having isssues!
