The sad truth is that I joined the bent fender club.

Any Guesses how much it is going to cost to fix it?

Ouch!! sorry fot your loss. Look at the bright side, Now you can use the insurance money to do some nice exterior mods. Aftermarket parts are typically much less then the ford replacements. You can get a front fascia, hood, side skirts, clear turn signals, painted light buckets and if you have any money left over maybe some scoops. Perhaps you might even be able to get an entire body kit for the same price as the repair estimate.

Also, you should think about having the antenna hole filled in before they replace the fender and paint it. You can get an amplified interior antena to replace that uggly whip. They only go for about $20.

OK, let me guess...a car was making a right hand turn and ended up turning in front of you. If I had a dime for everytime I've had that happen. Luckily I've always been able to slow down in time, but sometimes I think Ford must have built these cars with a cloaking device. Now if I could only figure out a way to get it to work when I'm speeding...

BTW, I would say your looking at $3500-$4500 in damages; New parts for these cars are ridiculously pricey.

I'd say 3800, neww fender, inner wheel housing, labor etc. Sorry to hear about you 'new club' per se, but hey, anything is fixable. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]

Ouch! hits home when it looks just like my car.
Take advantage of aftermarket parts like mentioned, and defintly recommend the antenna hole fill.

Im going to use this pics to mess with some friends if thats ok

Well it's going to cost me about $700 to have my bumper and chin spoiler repainted after I got rocks kicked up on it. That is with a blend into the fender. I'd say your in the $3k range. The fender itself is like $150 bucks. It's the labor and paint where they get you.
