Oh dear!

Check some wrecking yards/junk yards and see if any have a summit white left front fender. You might get lucky and find one that does not require any painting and save a few bucks. White does not age or vary as bad as some of the darker colors.

I got mine from the dealership for low 200's I think. I only pay 7% tax on the dealer cost though as the parts guy puts my stuff on his personal account and I pay him directly.

Either way OEM ones aren't real expensive unpainted.

Holy crap you are lucky. Could have been substantially worse.

I used to have an....Astro Van (I know), and when I lived in Upstate New York a deer ran right in front of me, hit it at 60MHP. My van basically looked like it was melting afterwards.

Anyhow, now is your chance to upgrade! I saw a guy selling a set of carbon fiber front fenders in the For Sale section for like $800? Don't quote me on that price though.

Keep in mind if you dont mind the panel gap being perfect all the way Capa certified parts are a fraction of the cost. Looks like 50 bucks for the fender and 50 for shipping + paint and install. Probably 300 bucks all said and done if you can do the install yourself.

An OEM panel is close to $200 Its the paint/ blend that is expensive.
Removing fender has 3 bolts under the hood 2 under the rocker 2 by the door hinges, and 1 under the bumper.
Then there is the secret 1. dead center in the fender itself under a piece of foam

This gave me a good laugh. Scares the poo out of you when they come out of nowhere.

Crazy part is the deer was pregnant and on impact the baby shot out! (have pics!)

These from phastek require paint, https://www.phastekperformance.com/2...aro-fender.htm

I may upgrade to these myself, even though they are spendy...

I think there are sellers on e-bay who sell painted body parts just not sure if their parts are oem.

Hixson · 03-27-2017, 08:23 AM

I actually just had this done two weeks ago. A new OEM fender with body shop painting and blending cost roughly $1400 at my GM dealer. If im not mistaken, the fender itself costs around $400 not painted.
