Damaged car, need advice

My sister hit the my before this past winter and she did not have money to get it fixed so I left it. As you can see, iti s rusting now. I have had a few estimate and it costing $600 from one guy and Honda wants close to $900 for it. Here are my options:

1. Go with the Z3 fenders, carbons fiber type? These cost about $300 US, are there places in toronto that can do them for cheaper? Can someone install these for me ?

2. Fix the fender, is there anyone who can give me an estimate as to cost for the total job

3. If I go for Z3 feder that is metal or fiberglass, where are there shops around the GTA who will paint and intall these for me.

Any of you guys have hookups. I have a wife and a baby, so I need the most economical solution (cheap !!!)


Thanks,

Its Honda, what do you expect from them. Even if you ben it back it will look like crap b/c its a corner piece and I dont think it would be 100% perfect. The fender costs $140, on both of the quotes I received, but the killer is the labro charges and the color matching, what a rip off. If I go with the CF fenders then at least I will not have to paint them.

I'd personally bend it back... It's not that hard. Just remove the fender the bend it back nicely, but take your time... If not, just buy the OEM honda fender get it painted at a body shop and then install it yourself! Or if you want to go straight to a body shop I could recommend York Auto Body (On the corner of dundas and Watson) They'll do that stuff for cheap! And very good work...

There is a bit of rust on the corner so it would be of no use to bend it back with the rust there. does York color match and stuff, I want a nice looking job. Would they do the install on the Z3 fenders for me as well

go to TenTen autobody service (next door of wheels direct) and they charges reasonable for paint, labour and install
just get the brand new fender from dealer then as boohahhah said shop around for cheap places for paint and install.

good luck with it
