yeah, hitting stuff yourself sucks. i ran into a dumpster about three months ago and i'm still waiting for someone to rear end me so the insurance will cover it. insurance fraud is definitely something you don't want to play around with, you wouldn't be driving for a much longer time because you'd be in jail. good luck.

That 1st dent really crushes you. A reminder that driving requires your full attention. Fortunately, sheetmetal can be fixed. I wish they taught more about defensive driving. About recognizing dangerous situations (in this case the entire state of NJ) About what to do if this, or that, happened in front of you. You see what happens to other drivers. What would(or could) you have done to avoid what happened to them. The list goes on and on, and after 40yrs of driving, I'm still seeing new crazy things some people do behind the wheel. If you're in central NJ, you may see me tooling around in May in my new X5. It will be the only one in NJ with (R,W,B) Idaho plates. I usually have an eye out for other X5s. Be seeing you and Good Luck.

don't take it to the dealership... they will just add their markup to it and just send you down the street to the body shop. Cut out the middle man and go directly the body shop. They will probably quote you a new panel, paint & labor. It's going to be over a grand for sure since the labor itself to fix the fender is is greater than just slapping on a new one but still 5-8 hrs at $100+ an hour .
