That's an idea. I just have to find a 1/1 scale body. I doubt my LHS has them. And for the price of R/C bodies, I bet a 1:1 lexan body would probably be the price of a whole new car.
Actually, my wife is a decent driver, she just had one of those moments. She was actually more upset about it than I was.

I'm thinking if you can get the fender off and in decent repair yourself, which with the pilot holes seems like your on the right path, you can have an auto body shop repaint them for fairly cheap. Once you have the fender off you can hammer it out a bit too. I know you said it seems like a PITA to get off but I am thinking that is your best bet to save some money.
