Thanks for the advice. The dent repair quote I got was $250 but they can't deal with the paint fix which I'm sure would be another few hundred. I'm concerned it'll never be right. I'll probably just order a new fender and some OEM paint and see how well I can do. Again appreciate the input!
2015 - Self inflicted wound, front fender - thanks for any advice!
In a moment of mental haze backed my moto into my '15 foz :frown2: (zero damage to the bike BTW not a scratch)
I figured, 2-300 ish maybe, the two body shops in town I ran this by are in the $1200 range which seems excessive.
I've learned through painful experience this type of trivial deal should not be run through insurance (pay now or pay the insurance carrier, forever)
A new fender is $40 (aftermarket) to $190 (OEM) so not bad but shipping appears to be about $150 which seems excessive.
Anyone know if a fender replacement is a difficult job on a '15 era Forester?
Anyone know if a chain shop like Autozone, or similar can source a body part and save me the $$ on shipping or know a source that ships at a reasonable cost?
If I can get away with a $200 part and maybe $200 for a paint shop I'd do it, $1200 to a body shop no way I'll drive it as is.
Thanks for any advice! Yes stupid hurts as it should :grin2:
