Today I took a girl out to this pizza place just down the street. Things went pretty good actually, until she saw the car and asked me "Did you buy it like that?"
"Like what?"
"With only one headlight."
Some one hit my car, probably trying to park next to me or something. No note, or anything, but he did clean up the plastic shatterings hoping that I wouldn't notice I suppose. Now I have a smashed headlight, a badly dented fender, and a severly scratched up grill.

Does anyone know about what price range a fender from a average junk yard would cost?

I just bought that car yesterday.

Junk yards by me charge like $40 a fender, which is a lot imo. Certifit will sell a new fender for about $30 if there's one by you.

closest is a 2 hour drive away.

OMG! How terrible. So sorry to hear about this.
