Well that was the top of the line S-Class at the time, now, the top of the line S-Class costs over $225,000.

I bought my truck with a misaligned drivers door. The low corner outside tip of the door was bent also. The door and fender had definitely been in a fight or two.

The new 32" BFGs are much too big for the stock 2WD suspension... I took off the front wheels and hammered away at the pinch welds. One hit grazed the driver fender where the mudflap mounts, disrupting the delicate panel gap balance. Wheels back on, opening the drivers door immediately caved in the fender.

I work at a dealership, a few friends of mine were able to help me get some work done for a great price.

Since the fender has to be replaced, the paint will have to be blended into the adjacent panels, such as the hood and rear left door.

Certifit sells a sport hood without the scoop guts for $56! The scoop guts from Toyota were $175. Now that the hood needs to be fully painted, the passenger fender needs to be blended.

Basically, the blending process means sanding down to the base coat of the adjacent panels, lightly respraying over onto the edges of existing paint. The whole thing is all clear coated for an expected even blend, if you have a good match.

The passenger fender has some scratches that will disappear thanks to that, also getting the headlight filler panels repainted too.
