Im trying to figure out the cheapest way to repair my fender. Its pretty dented up and theres a spot near the window where the paint chipped off. The paint is fine everywhere else. Should i just get a new fender and have it painted or would a body shop be able to fix this?

 

i was wondering... how did that happen?

 

The right way is to replace and paint. Any problem with the door jamb will also have to be fixed. The car is insured right?

 

I was changing out my wheels and got distracted. I thought i tightened up all the lugs on the tires but i forgot to do the front drivers side. 3 blocks from my house the wheel came off doing 40mph and my car slammed against the ground. Everything else is fine but the wheel rolled under my fender before coming out so its just warped like that.

Ill probably just pick up a new fender off ebay and have it painted. How much should i be expecting to pay for a good paint job on that fender?

 

The fender is so thin and brittle you should just replace it.

They are pretty easy to find, I would just make a WTB in SoCal. It should be no more than $300 to paint it.

 

dang! that sucks!!

 

Ill make a WTB and see if i can find one.

I found this auction on ebay for a painted fender. What do you guys think about this?

EBAY AUCTION

 

Carbon fiber needs no paint

 

Yes it does. 2 Tone ricer look is well played out.

 

Yikes. Best of luck to you.

 

Yah it does suck. Im probably going to go with the ebay auction i posted up. $209 for a painted fender is a damn good deal. Seems like their pretty legit too by all the reviews on them.
