Does anyone have any places to go to so i could get my fender fixed/replaced? I went to toyota and got an estimate of $1007. So if anyone can help me find a place that's A LOT cheaper that has the similar quality that'd be dope. thanx

You gotta tell us or show us so we could help you out a little more. Maybe you could pop it out and then do some custom grills or sumthing. I hope that price includes paint cuz that is pretty steep.

hmmm, how that happen? maybe he ran into a pothole from hell and sent the entire rim/tire up into the wheelwell...

.....I suppose right about now would be a good time to look for some z3 fenders or something. spending 1000 bucks to have it go back to stock looks just doesnt seem worth it.

it looks like since the most the inner fender is dented, it might be better to get new ones. you can try some local bodyshops and see what they say about it. i don't think you will find a replacement fender from another xB since they are still really new.

I know of a place called Pacific Auto Company, at the bodyshop I work at we actually use these guys for parts. Its an aftermarket company and I am not sure if they have Scion Parts available as of yet, but I usually get sheetmetal parts from them really cheap. (Reminder) They are not OEM parts and do not fit as well as the dealer parts in some cases, but they have never let me down. When I had my CRX I crucnhed the front and was able to get a hood for 80.00 and fenders for about the same..............They are located in Orange, California Mon-Fri.......its worth making the call.........let me know and I will see about what kind of discount I can work out. I usually get about 30% off. I will be happy to do that for my fellow Scion Ownerz... :D

I'm planning on buying the fender from Penske Toyota parts shop for $180. All i'll really need is the paint job. How much you guys think paint would be?

Just go to one of those one day paint & body places and have them color match it. It's costing me around $800 to shave, paint, and install a body kit, not from there but a body shop, so you should be pretty good on the low end.

a fender shouldn't cost more than 200 bucks to paint.
it should be that price. and U CAN INSTALL A FENDER YOURSELF!
even if u've never done it before.. im sure u can learn.
or have them install it for what.. 50-100 TOPS!
i suggest pick up that fender. paint it at a GOOD PLACE
and then pop it on.
im glad u went from 1000 bucks down to less than 400 bucks.
