Does anyone know of this brand? know if it will fit? just checking to make sure im not buying some random junk
From the materials used it looks like its fine if you like the style.

Ill keep roving Ebay for those osir fenders... also.. if i were to buy ONE fender from the dealership.. would it cost less than 400? or do you have to buy 2? I'm just trying to save money any way that i can..
You only need one, and you can buy just one. Seriously man, call up junk yards or fill out a parts request online that other junkyards can view and email you if they have what your looking for.

i took it to a few shops... lowest estimate that came back for the car was 4000 dollars...

I can shave maybe 200-300 dollars off of that... but other than that im pretty much stuck..

It looks like when they start pulling stuff apart... theres probably gonna be more damage... so were looking at 5000 dollars maybe... :-/

Ehh after studying his pics a little bit a few questions arise - How fast were you going when you hit the other person? I Worked in an autobody repair shop/collision place for a bit and even the smallest accident can cost a crap ton. From what I can tell from your pics it looks like Either the cover is pushed back or is the front radiator support smashed back? If thats smashed back they're gonna have to put it onto a frame machine and attempt to pull the points into spec before the car is deemed "Road Worthy" again. Sadly if they cant get it back into specs you're going to eat tires due to mis-allignment.
From what I can see it looks like youll need Grill/Upper Bumper cover/headlight Assem/Fender - So figure ~$1.5k - $2K for Parts alone - I hope your radiator support Is ok because I know they're not cheap....Figure Paint shops here in NY are ~$65 an hour + Supplies I honestly wouldnt be surprised to hear the $4-$5 range on that repair.
Got any pics w/ hood open (still opens right?) near radiator area?

No i dont have any pictures, but yes the radiator support is slightly cracked and will need replacing...

Its about 200 dollars for a new radiator support, 250 for a new radiator.. Im really hoping that the frame isnt damaged... but i really have no idea whats going to happen at this point..
