Fender Damage

Was just wondering if it would be better just buy a replacement fender and get it all painted later or do it all now. If I do it all now at a body shop how much do you think it will cost. Hit a pole backing out of parking spot.

 

Sucks man. Just own up to it and get it all fixed now. Sorry

 

Go do some stupid shit offroad on the trail... then go get it ALL repaired.

Sux, man. Sorry for the headache.

Buy a fender and replace. Maybe you will be lucky and even find the right color from a junker. Either way, I've replaced my 2nd gen fenders a few times from trail damage. Super easy, but my parts are easier to come by.
Sorry to see. Also, side note... Were you looking over your shoulder?

 

Don't wait. Get it fixed correctly now by a good body shop. You don't want rust/corrosion to get a foot hold.

 

That sucks. Sorry that had to be your first post. I would bite the bullet and get it fixed.

Welcome to Tacomaworld.

 

Sorry for your truck damage. Looks like your door is scuffed pretty good too, like others said bite the bullet and have it fixed right!

@SweetT you know a good painter don't ya?

 

Yes but you have to mix your own paint because he’s colorblind.

 

That really sucks, those damn concrete posts in undergrounds.

Quite a few cars in my parkade with similar damage just different areas.

Good luck with everything man.

 

Ive seen this so many times in parking garages. one woman decided that after making contact to just continue going.

 

This is her sister.

 

I'm an adjuster for a major insurance company in the US. that fenders going to need to be replaced. that door looks fixable but a shop will likely have to do it. try to find a used fender that matches the color pretty well to keep the cost low if you're paying out of pocket. otherwise call your insurance company.

 

Sorry shit happens. Bodyshop painter here. Get all new oem parts. Good shop will fix like it never happened.
Good luck

 

That's more damage then slapping a fender on, and it's a nice new truck, call insurance and get it to a good body shop

 

He was just trying to go straight inside the house, probably didnt want to take the stairs.

 

Did something similar to my Tundra. Huge A pillar hid a pole and I destroyed the fender. I ended up getting a after market fender from ebay that was painted. It was $400 or something like that. Much cheaper than dealing with a body shop.

 

$1,800 is my guesstimate, based on the experience of a friend.

Pay OOP so you don't risk an accident reported on your carfax.

 

BRUH! I swear we hit the same mud hole this weekend hahahaha. It got rough in the hollers of ky this weekend for us. I'm gonna take it to a body shop next week and have someone look at it.
Hey, it's what we signed up for. Teach ourselves a lesson and move on. I'd rather tippy toe in and winch out than try to go balls out and make it through in one go.




Edit: Looking at OP's pics, i don't see offroading as a cause there

 

Rough in the Hollars of KY...

oh my
