If you are looking for aftermarket looks there are several company's that make them. The one above is one way to go.

I'm looking for OE if anyone has past experience with a specific company or product line they've previously bought from. I found some from $60 to $120. Not sure I trust the $60 replacement. The body shop quoted me around $730 for parts and labor (including the blending of the hood) $300 of which was for the (aftermarket stock style) fender alone.

Rip offs. That's a lot of money for fender replacement and paint. Try eBay or check your old fender to see if there is a name on it somewhere.

I had to have my front and rear bumper replaced and painted, the splash guard (under engine) replaced and my drivers door repainted. I think the total cost was somewhere between $2,900 and $3,000. Now my headlight has condensation inside and I don't think insurance is going to cover it. :/ I slid into a couple curbs and over an island in a roundabout. They said the headlight damage isn't likely from the accident as I hit a curb.

Call the insurance company and ask for a supplement inspection. Just tell them your headlight is getting water in it ever since the accident.

Yeah I did that, they said that there was prior damage. I'm SOL on the headlight and fender. Just purchased some headlights from another member though. Now I just need that fender! :/

If they said that threaten to call the state department of insurance on them. Then see if they Sing that same tune with you.. If you have full coverage they need to replace whatever they can't prove that was damaged at time of policy agreement. They need to provide you with a picture showing the damage on your car prior to your coverage .
