How much should it cost to fix this dent? [Pics]

Hi, guys. I have a '96 Civic EX. I'm just wondering how much it would cost to fix this dent on my passenger side.

Where are you located? I'll fix it for $1000.

Like 94chb said above, a new fender (& possibly a new trim piece if the clip is cracked/broken) should have that area looking nice. You could probably paint it yourself if you are decent at spray painting, have a shop do it somewhat cheap, or hold out till you find a 96-98 Civic fender already in your color to just slap on.

I'm asking because my mom took the car to a body shop and they quoted her about $500 to fix it.

Replacing it would be a cheaper alternative, is that what I'm hearing?
