Some guy backed over the side of my vette at work yesterday. Put about a 1 foot diameter hole in the left front fender. Anybody know where to get body work done on a vette around Indy?

left front fender? on a C4? Thats called new hood.

Expect about $3500.00 for a complete replacement, paint, prep, etc.

Estimate came to $4,080! Almost half of what I paid for the car.

Make sure they replace the hood, not rapair it. It will crack again over time.
