Looking for opinions here based on community experience. My front driver side fender was hit and run while parked. No note. This is not a concourse show car (155k miles, 1999), but overall in good shape cosmetically. However, I am not vain and priorities keep me budget minded. I DIY all my mechanical needs, and have done limited body work in the past. I'm not sure what direction I should go:
1. DIY Pull: pick up a tool locally and try to pull it myself. Touch-up paint to match. I pass right by a harbor freight daily

2. Get PDR Quotes
3. Buy a used front fender in the same color for about $300. It would be about a 3hr round trip, approx 4-5 hrs of my time to swap out? So about $300 and one work day worth of time.
