dang it

long story short, pothole hidden by water puddle plus wet road equals busted fender. I can get a new one relatively cheap and have it painted or try to hold out for a used black one to swap right in. Any idea on the estimated cost to replace paint a fender?

Yeah I know, pictures but honestly, unless you get right up on it you cant even tell. It took 20 mins with a pressure washer cleaning off all of the mud to figure out that there was even a crack in the fender. Of course once I took the fender off I found a few more but man I wish I would have been there on the outside watching because from all of the mud all over the car I bet it was a sight to behold.

Ouch! Let me know where that pothole is so I can avoid it...! :eek

Is the fender too damaged to be repaired...?

it is on North US 1 between the 404 and Viera I just got to FL and havent changed my profile yet.

right hand lane, I went back today to look for it and if it is where I think it is, the hole is a lot smaller than I figured it would be. I guess that is what happens when tires start floating on water.

Fender is done. Bottom part is shattered. All of the plastic in the wheel well is shattered. I am just glad the rocker panel came out ok. Not a scratch on it.

Sorry for your mishap, It'll be fixed. Now let's hear from Lads who promote lowering these cars. Makes them just about useless as your pot hole demonstrated.
