collected my insurance $ and took my car to kenchan's garage 15ft forward. lol

Replace em with aftermarket if its carbon fiber no need paint

I see an opportunity to purchase aftermarket fenders. What ever the body shop is going to charge for the OEM fender can be applied to the new set, if you want to go that route.

Good luck.

You are gonna get one chance to find a good PDR person to do this, access fortunately behind this area is good. Should come out as good as new.

Unfortunate that so many people are so disrespectful of other people's property. Was probably a rust bucket car with a clueless driver. Hopefully you get a good PDR guy to do it right the first time like Limey said. Hopefully being that close to a body line won't be a problem. Sorry to see this.

Glad you were able to fix it. With State Farm it was basically "anything that's scratched gets replaced." After I found a way for them to not total my bike, I fixed everything relatively cheaply and used the extra $$ to upgrade to full Ohlins suspension.;)

Dent Wizzard !! it will likely pop out with a little manipulation...see them do it all the time..it is also a cheap try before you dole out $$$ replacing body panels and painting.

Expect the bill to be 100-175 just because of the size and location.
