Message Part 1: Some jerk hit my fender and caused a small dent plus a couple of scrapes. I have a ding from something earlier anyway, so I want to get the whole fender repainted. I have 3-stage pearl paint, of course ($$)! Can't decide whether to spring for new fender (insurance won't cover completely but whatever) or have someone treat the dings and repaint the whole thing. Any thoughts either way in terms of change in car value, new part quality vs. original fender, possibility of erasing dents, etc.?

Part 2: Nissanpartsdeal's fender is $150 less than straight from a dealer. They say they come right from Nissan and not from some warehouse, but the mechanics are very skeptical. Any thoughts? I've ordered from them before, but nothing essential like body stuff. Thanks!
