[QUOTE="svtfocus2cobra, post: 16271692, member: 21786"] From my experience working as an estimator at a shop and dealing with insurance companies, Geico was actually a good one to deal with. Their reps usually took care of the repair process very well and they were easy to work with. I would definitely go through insurance or give the other party the option to pay out of pocket if you can get a good deal on it. It isn't going to be a cheap repair because the door will have to be blended, and possibly the hood because red fades faster than any color so depending on whether your paint has faded much the new paint may come out noticeably brighter than the factory paint. Could easily put that small repair at $600-700. Shouldn't need to replace that fender either if it is just that small crack that you pointed out. If the fender is damaged to the point of needing replacement there likely won't be any options other than OEM. They dont make them aftermarket and used will be hard to come by, but you would be better going with a used one if they won't cover the cost of new. [/QUOTE]
