...ballpark figure for a new fender, bumper, painting and install? I'm guessing $1500 or so.

I've found the fender for $200 and the bumper for $300 online, both in white. I figure $500 to paint both and another $500 to install.

He started driving 4 weeks ago - at least he didn't hit anyone else.

thanks

Paint will probably cost more. Installing the front bumper is super easy. I am unsure of the fender, but it shouldn't be too hard.

Is that a new Lexus factory fender you found for 200? If not you may need to drill out some new holes to make it fit correctly. Also the fender kinda sucks i just replaced my ds and you need to remove the headlight to get to some of the bolts.

I posted some links in your WTB thread for new oem stuff already painted. According to the feedback they do a great job.

You buy civics or corollas for new drivers don't let them touch the good stuff..Good luck with fix, paint matching white is a pain.

Wow really? I thought that only happened in movies or TV shows ... How old is he? I agree buy him a beat-up honda civic for $1k and let him destroy it learning how to drive so there's no harm done
