ok so tonite my gf's dad was backing out of the driveway and hit my driver's side fender with the back of his toyota tundra truck. my corner lights broke right out of the housing and the fender wall is rubbing against the tires. what is an estimate of fixin the fender do you think? i can get the new corners no big one but im more concerned about the fender. i mean the tmrow morning be4 i go to school im gnna bang the fenderwall up with a hammer to keep it from rubbing w/the tire and interfereing with the shocks. should i do that to the fender wall or should i just leave it alone i mean its only plastic im gnna post pics prob tmrow so ya can see if i should get a new fender or just take it to a shop please leave some ruff estimates for new fender and/or a shops estimate thnx im also gnna check a local junk yard sometime this week

 

Make the S.O.B pay for it.

 

To get a minor ding taken out of my passenger side fender, I forked over $250. From the sound of your damage, it would cost a good bit more.

yo yo yo man chill sob not needed people make accidents im still gnna make him pay but i mean no need for that man

 

yea i think that im just gnna go to a junk shop and look for a fender i think it'll be alot more cheaper than fixing it

 

I have to get both my fenders fixed cuz of an accident I had, so I got an estimate for it. My car is going into the shop on monday for this. The driver's fender has really minor damage and was estimated at $72 to fix. The passenger fender had a little more significant damage, though still not enough to rub the tires ever and was estimated at $216 to fix. The painting for both fenders and the bumper cover was estimated at $252. Theres also a "materials" item on the estimate at another $252.

What I did for the expensive fender was get a new one shipped to me for about $75 shipped from Virtual Body Shop on Ebay. Chances are, that will turn out to be your best option if you have to pay for it. I can't vouch for fitment yet, but I will surely post about it once the work is done in about a week.

Hopefully this gives you some idea what you are looking for. You can see pictures of the way my fenders look here: http://northsidedrive.com/images/incident/

I called all kinds of junkyards and found it basically impossible to find a fender in my color in good condition. People with max's tend to run into things, so there aren't many. Good luck with it.

 

yea only the plastic fender wall is rubbing on the tires not the metal and lets put it this way your passenger side fender looks good compared to my fender, it is completely cushed in to the point where the front of the tire is partially unprotected

 

you live relatively close to my bf's shop. he can probably get you a new fender and get it painted for a good price.... give him a call at his shop (717)867-0381 or im him tilleys99

 

where's your b/f shop

 

in annville... pottstown is about an hour away.... its just to the west of lebanon..... if you would get on the turnpike its not too far...

we are still down at the shop if you wanna call

 

anneville eh nvmnd i may consider it if i cant find a junk place or if the fix price is too much locally thnx for the offer

 

i'll post pics tmrow so ya can see if it is even repairable

 

how much wud your b/f charge for a new fender and paint job

 

he said he has to get a price on the fender. 80 just to paint it + price of the fender, or 135 to have it installed and painted + price of the fender

 

ok thanks for your help

 

the pics are right here on my cardomain http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/718621

 

hey i have a oem fender passanger seide i can sell lmk

 

thnks for the help but its drivers side

 

How big was this ding? I mean, you can get paintless dent removal and have a handful of dings and have them take them out for like 150 bucks. I have a few that I am taking out this week. The guy is gonna come to my place and do it in the garage. Did they have to paint your car or something?

 

Yeah, I had to get the fender repainted. I think someone hit me when they were parking.

ouch! thats no fun. mine got crushed when i hit a telephone pole oh well its all fun and games till a max gets hurt

 

Driver's side fender needs to be replaced



Estimate for replacing the fender, painting, and blending the adjoining panels to match so it doesn't look like a 4-year-old did it with a spray can.

 

i feel your pain 2k2kev myn just like that the first guy i called wanted 1041 for it 600 buc worth of labor blew him off pretty quick but i got this other guy who seem to be good from my friends recommendation gl with fixin that at least your fender wall aint rubbing against the tire and make a godawful noise

 

Go to your local dealership and find out where they send their cars for repair. I did this because then I knew the shop would be familiar with my car and not do a poor job.
