Rather than asking random people on the internet from all across the country... go to a local bodyshop and ask THEM

Classifieds, find the part thats the same color as your car. Install it yourself, save hundreds.

 

i just got my car back bro from the shop and i can tell u this.. if your insurance company has to pay out then it goes on ya driving record.. now if u are not at fault then contact the other persons insurance. No matter what if your insurance has to pay out to fix your car it goes on ya driving record.

The body shop i just left from charges 42.45 an hour.. so look at it this way.. to paint will be about 2 hours.. then body work 2.5 hours. the price of the pain XXX, any parts that will need to be bought XXX so add all that up and include tax and that will give u an idea

 

My KurumaZ bumper was backed over a few weeks ago while it was parked. I had four gouges over the top and it wasn't that bad, but not perfect like the rest of the coupe. Notified insurance and was told it wouldn't go on my record but I'd have to pay the $500 deductible. My bodyshop charged me $535 to do the job complete....why bother with insurance. With your front fender check our MARKETPLACE under vendor exterior for a fender or call our sponsor Infiniti dealership....Riverside Infiniti ask for Tony 800-913-3130. He gives members a discount compared to other dealerships....

Get an alarm guys. A lot of money and effort is going into our rides for them to be left unprotected if you've got it parked outside.

 

because like i stated before, I dont want it showing up as an accident on the car's history. it screwed me with the car i was trading in for the G. the rear bumped on my last car had a scratch from someone tapping me, filed a claim and bam, my car was worth about 3k less in a trade in. Not letting that happen again, pretty much the only reason I'm not going through insurance.

 

exactly my point, thanks for letting me know about Tony. I'll pm him in a few. I'm on the search for the fender, i have a few places i can go through friends to get it painted.

i appreciate the suggestions everyone

 

I had a fender repainted by a reputable guy, in black
he said he charges more for black because its harder to get dings out of and look smooth (shopping cart)

i paid $200

 

a new fender can be bought online for 80 dollars and painted for less dont listen to these fools

wow thanks for the link, theres a warehouse 10 mins from my house...have you bought from them before? i'm happy just as long as the part fits perfectly...i'm just a little worried because they dont use oem parts.

 

SORRY to hear that good luck might fix it on ur own

 

If I were you I think I would go the non insurance route. This only applies if you are someday planning to trade in your car. It has been my experience that if when the dealer runs a carfax and finds that the car has been in an accident no matter how small it gives them the perfect excuse to immediately offer you less money. Even after you explain to them as in my last case that something as small as the bumper cover had been replaced they immediately assume your minimumizing the damage and down goes the value.

 

which part of philly are you in? i have a shop that works magic.

 

I'm actually living in the Cherry Hill area atm. Where was it you were talking about?
