Dave,

Really sorry to hear about this, especially since you were sleeping when it happened. I can't even imagine that first few minutes in the morning.

A have to say that I totally agree with Lud. Let a paintless guy look at it. You would be surprised at what they can fix. I your case, from what I see the fenders all have access from the inside, which is what the paintless guys have an easy time with.

If there is a choice I would go that way, since the fenders will NOT have to be removed. A friend of mine wacked a big racoon years ago and the quarter panel was damaged in a similar way. He insisted that the fender was NOT repainted. I came out perfect. This was a great body shop that used the "paintless" techniques.

Good Luck. Remember these bad feelings will pass, and the big grin will be out again soon.
