Holy crap, try to visit a paintless dent removal place first, you'd be surprised what the can fix with only a pinhole sized entry made in your fender. If the body guy wants to do a full fender replacement, you can also try something like this if you thought you had nothing to do loose (seems questionable if it works, but i've always wanted to try

In most metals you can actually harden the material by plastically deforming it in opposite directions multiple times and you increase the range of elastic behavior at the same time. Digression over

too much damage to pull. The force tweaked the whole fender, and I know I wouldn't be happy with the results. Anyone care to guess what the estimate is to replace the fender?

How much of that is labor? I'm thinking parts and paint should be no more than 500 tops.

I have looked and looked at that picture, but can not place that. Looking at the turned wheel it must be the front, but I am missing the lines.
Better have another coffee I think ... |

Well...I'd suggest that he buy the fender and get it painted, then install it himself, 'cept the other guy is paying for it, so who cares?!?!?!
