I thought that too....NOT A MARK ON THE OTHER CAR!!! No paint came off, all marks buffed out just left with 3 dents. The damn fenders are soo cheap...

try and have the dents popped out if there is no paint damage...its worth a shot. if it doesnt work you need a new fender.

A few months back, someone backed into my bumper at a gas station. Put a little imprint/dent in my bumper. Went to my Ford dealership, and they gave me an estimate of $720...new bumper, new isolator, paint, and labor. The only thing I can see is that maybe they'll say that after they take the dent out, they'll want to repaint the whole panel, not just where the damage is. I would imagine the paint alone to be $350+ if that's the case (I have personal experience in that department too).

My mustang's already had some body damage (you always have to look out for the other guy.)
pretty much guaranteed fender replacement (in terms of paint and labor, it's cheaper to replace the fender)
and it should be between 500-800$.. make sure you ask around and go to a reputable place... you don't want them doing a half-*** job and not aligning the fender right or not blending the paint along the other surfaces

good luck

When I got rearended only the plastic bumper was damaged but the shop R & R'ed the panel they said it was faster to replace it than fix it that's "time is money thing" I mentioned.

Are you gettin the dents popped out or the fender replaced? I am getting a new fender on tomorrow because of a fender bender and its gonna run me 400 painted. So i would say 275 sounds like a deal.
