Curse this Chicago winter! I lost control of my car on the expressway today after hitting a patch of snow on the right lane. Now certain spots on the right side of my xB are dented in.

My right side fender needs to be replaced as it is interfering with the closing of my passenger side door. I also need my doors fixed since they have a few dents in them as well. I'll post the pics when there is some light out so that you guys can take a look at the damage.

Now I turn to the community for some assistance. Do any of you have any idea how much this will cost me to fix? Where can I find the cheapest OEM fender (I can probably replace that myself? Also, do you have any recommendations or hook ups with body shops in the Chicago area? I love my car, and I just want it to look great again. Any input is appreciated.

 

Come to the scion evolution meet at elmhurst toyota this wensday at 7pm. one of the guys works at a body shop, but I dont remember his name...
sorry about your car. I hate chicago winters too.

What part of the City are you located?

 

that suc@s drive slower next time it looks like the states are not plowing the roads to save money and we have to pay for it .

I'm actually all over the place. My house is in Round Lake, but I always drive down by Franklin Park or Albany Park during the week to hang out.

@redline8k
Yeah I'll try to make it. It all depends on how crappy the weather gets.

 

Sorry posting these pics took a while, I've been busy







An acquaintance of mine talked about rolling the fender to restore it. Do you think it's possible with this damage? I want to save as much money as possible.

 

J&C Autobody on Elston and Irving. Half a Block North West from Irving.
