Itīs a fender.

I would not recommend to replace these parts yourself if you don't know much about cars. It is not hard to replace them but they need to be aligned properly.

What about buying the fender and having someone who know more about this replace it?

I did a little google search and this part seems to be going for about $170 - $103 for part, $65 for shipping, plus painting to just buy it. http://www.partsultimate.com/index.p...duct_id=234966

Today a guy quoted me a price that seemed REALLY high. (Ok it was shady, I was stopped at a stop light and this car full of dudes yelled at me "Hey I work for Toyota and can repair your fender for a nice price, $700") I'm not sure why someone would charge $700 to fix this if the part is only $103 in itself plus the shipping. Painting can't cost $600 can it??? I understand marking up for labor but that seems very excessive? To go to a body shop and not some guy yelling at me out of a car... is there any typical price range to anticipate to know what's fair?


Here's an actual photo of the damage...


As far as the hubcap I will just feel like a JACKASS if I can't figure out how to re-attach one on my own :P
