help me~~ my car got hit
I dunno who did it, maybe kicked or hit..
so i went to body shop to repair, they estimated it 800 bucks, and delearship, $617 just for part without painting..
i dunno.. it will be at least 800 bucks..
what if i repair it myself, it can be perfectly same as before?
plz tell me anyone which way is better for me.. and where i can buy this part except dealership like online
Repair, Replacement, or fix my self! or put the carbon fender

Where is it hit? Chances are you can't repair it yourself to be the same as before unless you have a body shop to work in and extensive body repair experience.
Can't you file an insurance claim and get someone to fix it for you? What's your deductible?

I would say pay out of pocket. If there is any paint transer or any indication of another car hitting u its going to be an collision claim which will count against you and for sure make your payments go up.

If it was in a parking lot or something like that where someone damaged your vehicle and did not leave information, file a police report and then report it against your insurance as an uninsured/underinsured claim. You probably have a $250 deductible on that, and they will cover transportation while your vehicle is being fixed.
Those prices are fairly in-expensive to fix a fender. Especially being that the car has aluminum front panels (more costly to fix). With replacement make sure that whatever shop you choose takes the correct procedures in to account working on our car. Mostly in reguards to painting, there is nothing worse than a poorly repaired car... I would consider claiming it through insurance and finding the absolute best shop in your area for the repair (It's only $500 to you). My guess without seing a picture is that the repair will cost much more than the quote you got. The higher price will include a more detailed repair with proper parts removal and painting techniques...
Good Luck
