I had a self inflicted wound about a year ago on my passenger fender repaired at Exclusive Auto Body in East Orange.. they took meticulous care of my car...and I was very pleased.
I'm seeing a 350-450 job on that fender. But I'm no expert.
With the wind and a good set of wheels combined those freakin shopping carts can be the cause of some heartache...along with the fact that the fenders on the S are just very soft and dent very easily...

BTW I updated the pics in the first post, still think it was an act of God and not vandalism but maybe I just want to be an optimist.

This is going to come off way elitist but I would never take my car to East Orange. God himself could be working in that shop and it wouldnt lure me there. I realized I didnt post the link to an ebay shop that will prepaint and send a fender. It's just about $500 shipped and here's the auction for the details. Worse case scenario is I get a OEM Honda replacement fender that needs to be resprayed because it doesnt paint match. The feedback looks like they do a good job and its probably the quickest way to get it done for me.

^^^ Well hopefully thats the case, at least you guys have someone to be a guinea pig with them in case you're considering them in the future. I hadnt looked at the Helm yet but I'm assuming swapping the fender out shouldnt be too big of a deal.

The "barius" is your username should've clued in a normal man but my mispent youth involved LOTS of weed. 
Safe to assume the front bumper cover needs to come off, what about the headlight? Just trying to get a guestimation of time spent to get it on and lined up.
