Has anyone had to replace and paint the front right fender?

always get two quotes and one always being from a dealer.

then i would repair it from the back so the crack lines up and put the money into your payment or to pay off some other debt... or if you have no debt to put it in your savings account.

Do you think the insurance company will cut me a check for a quote from a dealer after they've already had their guys come check it out?

no, but they may rethink their number and move it a bit higher.

for example you call them and say that you got a quote from a BMW dealer and it was 5K, then you say to the insurance company that their estimate is wrong and then you can come to a better number.
