Default Damage

Had the car out and ran over something that was laying on the road. Whatever it was went under the left front tire and came up just under the fender and knocked about a 3 inch peice out of the fender and left a couple pretty good cracks around where it went through. None of it is visiable unless you get under the car (it is just under where the fender wraps under the car, behind the wheel well and side).

Now the question is, can this be mended or will this require a complete fender replacement? And, has anyone had this happen and what do you think it will cost? This is just killing me since I've only put about 700 miles on the car since I bought it in October and would rather be putting this money into mods!!! YUCK!!

I think that piece is removable right where it leads into the side duct. A pic would be a great help. Bad to here this kind of stuff.

Repair it. Blend it. Clear it. I do it every day. Buy the mods, not the fender.
