I was halfway into an intersection when the truck, coming from the opposite direction, decides to turn. I managed to swerve and brake enough to where it only got my fender. Otherwise it'd probably been a harder impact or gotten the whole side of my car. Oh well...could've been much worse. I'm just glad it happened before I got my car painted.

^^Nope, that's not my bike....Mike D's bike.
Yeah, it was the dude's fault. I just got an estimate for fixing the damage alone (new fender and paint) for $400. Whole car painted for $1500. Sounds reasonable.
Um...Peter,...at the risk of getting kicked of the 4G squad I'm actually considering the ricey fenders. Not quite decided yet, since I am planning on keeping it pretty clean. I'd like to change the front a bit with a new bumper, but haven't really seen something I can use while keeping the OEM sides (painted) and nothing in the rear. I'm guessing there probably isn't any bumper you can use alone, unless you get a full body kit.

Full car, not cinculing door jam, and engine, and inside junk $800 from forgot the place name, but its a bodyshop close to Redline performance in arlington. My friend got his whole hatch painted white w/blue pearl. Look good for 800. Also if you get the whole body kit form him i think its 500 for whole kit.
PS: I don't get anything for advertising for him, i just wanted to share lol
Only down side is that fcker takes too long to paint.
The place I'm considering taking it for a full paint job did the work on our G35 when it was rear ended and they did a really good job. They're saying it'll be two weeks so I may go that route just because I don't want to hassle with trying to bum rides to work for longer than that.

Forget the "4g squad", be worried about me coming over and beating your ass! I thought Billy and I taught you better!
As mentioned it's hard to find any that fit well and I've yet to see a set that didn't look like they were glassed by a 4 year old. I also am of the thought that vents need to serve a purpose and they sure as hell don't when placed there.
I'd stick with OEM/JDM stuff or something like WW RS. I'd avoid any non-eurethane as unless it's a show car and all blended in seamlessly it's going to look like ass after a year (if not immediately).
Wow...thanks, Todd. As always you can always add an incredible amount of persuasive facts. Rice I could deal with to a certain extent, but I definitely don't want to spend a good amount of $ on a paint job only to have the fenders look like a$$ after a while.
