A $250 softball dent in a hood is an automatic $1000 replacement repair.
What are the Camaro's fenders made of if I may ask because I'm pretty sure if they were aluminum they wouldn't cost $1000 to replace and reprint. Of course less material factor but the current fenders only cost 249 for the driver side and 198 for the passenger side (if I recall both prices correctly. I would only expect a 100 increase in cost to sell them but I could be wrong.
