ask a mexican...about his truck being crashed into (pics inside)

feels good to wake up to this. sike. motherfuckers

 

that sucks man, hopefully insurance doesnt give you too much of a hassle over it

 

i think i might pay for it. my deductible is 1k

 

ouch. yea thats probably your best bet then. doesnt look like 1k in damages anyway.

 

im going tomorrow to look at a quote from the body shop thats done work to it before

 

fiberglass

 

if you know anybody with body work hammers, or if you can buy some, you should be able to knock that out by yourself for under $50. heat up the paint with a heat gun so it doesnt crack or chip and then use the body hammer to knock it out and just touch up paint it.

just an idea

 

fiberglass fenders doesnt sound bad. ill wait for the quote if its 200 ill do it if its 400 ill buy fiberglass haha "glasswerx"

 

just don't let the gyspies at walmart parking lots fool you.

 

That sucks dude but it shouldn't be too hard to fix. Good luck.

would fiber glass look stupid? i dont even have mid travel wahh

 

either get wheel spacers or spindles, are u 2wd?

 

yeah 2wd im hoping the fix is 200 bucks

 

That sucks! I had a tractor-trailer sideswipe my fender about 4 years ago.

The damage in the attached photo cost me $550 to have it knocked out, filled and painted. That was the cheapest estimate. 3 other shops wanted anywhere from 800-1000 and insisted on replacing the fender rather than repairing.

Hope yours turns out better.

 

Sorry to see this not a good way to wake up and start the day. I don't want to poop on your parade but that's going to cost a tad more than $200 to fix... One question. Why in the hell is your deductible so high? My wife manages one of the major Auto insurers and usually people that have high deductibles do so because they can't afford the monthly premiums??

 

This happened to me last month, and I couldn't believe that the estimate was $4260! I'm sure just fixing your one fender will be far less than your deductible would cost, though. Labor is going to be 90% of your expense so if you can minimize that, you should be golden.

Mine needs a ton of little work because the bed pushed up and touched the back of the cab, and the bumper touched the two rear fenders. Also my hitch and tailgate were damaged, slightly bending the frame where the hitch mounts to it. Easily fixable, but damn expensive. Thankfully the other guy had decent insurance (or at least the car he was borrowing did, while he went to jail on 2 old warrants LOL)

 

damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn two weeks ago i had my rear driver and passenger panel fixed and painted, my passenger rear door fixed painted, my bumper and tailgate fixed and painted for 1200

 

The fender is the cheap part. Its the fender flare that is $$$. I was quoted $287.57 for one front fender flare (not painted and not including molding and clips) Capistrano Toyota quoted on 3-17-11. You can find replacement fender for around $100.00...with a little searching.

Fiberglass is going to run $400.00 +/- for both sides plus some modifications.

Good luck!

 

the fender itself isnt damaged at all! i got lucky the guy hit from the black rubber up
