[QUOTE="Tyson C., post: 2276530, member: 9534"] have you had any other shops give you an estimate. also you can get on line or Pull-a-part and maybe find used parts to fix what you got? an example, my story: i have a 2010 scion TC. the top is all glass; 3windows. my wife drives it to my sons baseball practice...you guessed it, foul ball, busted the only window that can not be replaced (only window that does not move, it is fixed to the framing). the window repalced through Toyota is $2,800....OUCH. talked to a friend of mine that runs a body shop and we found a "used" one for $500. apparantly the car it was on was smashed up front and the top was fine. my used "replacement" looks brand new...... thats why i say you might shop around, maybe buy a fender and if it needs paint have them paint it and or they repaint the used fender and you put the fender and light in. LABOR KILLS at body shops. maybe have the kid help you out and he learn the lesson that way, maybe pick up a trade and not have to pay out of pocket. i think its good what you did, but hate to see ya lose out on that much $$ [/QUOTE]
