Re: REPAIR COST? (accord 98)
Pics help...but I'de say you're looking at a new fender and some minor blending...maybe $400, give or take...depending on how descent the shops are around you. Look for fenders on ebay, put it on yourself and then take it down to the shop.

it really depends on the extent of the damage and what shop you are thinking on taking it to.
I'll guess roughly 1,000 - 1,500 to get the dents out and then have the scratch fixed ( the hood or part of it must be repainted)

Shops rarely will paint an entire hood, fender, whatever...We're in it to make money...the customer will pay for the can of paint and the estimated labor...we'll use as little paint as possible and do the job as faast as possible...whatever amount of paint that is left over...stayed in the shop and was profit in a way. If we do it in less time, you still get charged for the estimated time. That's why we get paid so much...
We do a 14hr job in 9 hrs, that 5 hrs difference is in our pocket.
