Wild guess...
-Quarter: about $1000
-Mirror: $250
-Fender: $400

I say $2000 by the time you add taxes and all.

If it was my car, I'd go for a new quarter instead of bondo it up.
It's hard to tell if it needs pulling or not from the picture. Doesn't look to horrible.
Same with the fender. It retails for $160. Cheap.

You could get the A47 mirrors for the price of you OEM one

Good luck with it.

It actually won't buff out because the EPA took out the fast cut compound off the market!!

Depending on different States, the body shop labor goes from $40 an hour to $60.
So that $2000 figure is just a shot in the dark...

$40 here in FL...
$20 for materials calculation.
Never mind that the price of paint more than double the last couple of years.
Ins. Companies conveniently forget to update. Bastards!

I'm not so edumacated on repair pricing, but I do know it would be a wise choice to get Agent 47 mirrors instead of getting the stock ones again.
