It depends if you can live with a repaired fender vs. a replaced fender. Repair won't be perfect but will be cheaper. I'd say around 500 bucks for a repair including paint and labor or 750 for replacement. It also looks like there is some damage to the subframe.

H rated tires ftl!

Junk yard for the fender, and as for the plastic piece not much. At a junk yard all in total maybe $500???

For the Cobalt correct? A little hard to believe. But when you have that shipped you still need it primed and painted which will cost about the same as a used one at a junk yard.

the tire blew out and did that damage but the tire didn't blow out to the rim it blew out to a protective inner layer that allowed me to pull over before it went completely flat
