This panal needs to be replaced with a new one you can go with a new OEM or aftermarket aftermarket parts or much cheper then OEM but they dont fit as well my guess would be around $600 bucks for a aftermarket fender and repair the bumper and paint

I found a replacement fender for like 125..... And as far as 600 goes that is no where near what I thought it would be. I could do the work myself but jsut wanted some estimates...Lol seeing it this much made me make up my mind fast...Gonna do it myself

The dent looks smooth enough to be repaired .. I've seen worse damage on a panel get fixed..

I had the same kind of damage only I hit a gaurd rail. The shock messed up the fender on the other side of the car as well. Went to a junk yard and picked up 2 fenders, a wonder bar(just because), and the plastic wheel gaurds for like 120 altogether. Did the prep on the fenders and replaced them both myself. The shop would have been around a 1000 for the repairs. The fenders and front clip are all removable and can be done in a weekend.
Good Luck

Thanx...Glad someone else out there has done this type of work themself. I was getting kind of worried with all those high estimates. I am almost sure I can do this by myself but am just to lazy lately to do it and it is so damn cold. I am gonna bring it into my house one of these days. ( the fender not the car) So only a weekend of work huh? Smoothe...Thanx Iggy

It's not a matter of whether it can or can't be fixed. Anything can be fixed. It's an issue of whether it's feasible or not. With labor rates at $32-50/hr, how many hours do you spend fixing a $50 part?
