This is the damage. I bought it online and what I received did not match the description/pics of how it was advertised. The pics i was sent were taken while it was on the car, the only thing i can think is that the guy though it was only taped on and ripped it off.
both areas around the mounting bolts are cracked

I have a feeling that it will cost more to repair and paint than to buy another. The only problem is how hard they are to come across.

Bottom line is I'm looking for a cash amount not advice ("take it to somewhere and find out" that does not help me).

100-150 from a guy you know, or that does work on the side. A shop is gonna charge at least 300. The damage isnt too bad, but there will around 4 hours labor, materials, paint, paint materials, and paint labor. 300 from a shop is a deal. I could see a shop charging more. Talk to the guys at these shops to see if they know anyone who does it on the side.

100 bucks is cheap. A quart of RM base (blue) is almost 140.00 so I would imagine a pint would be 70-80 just for the base coat figure another 100 for the clear and primer, then labor. I can't see anyone doing it for under 250 even someone on the side, unless they happen to have the base coat left over from another job, or they are using cheap paint.
