Time for everyone’s favorite game of guess the estimate!

Update: I’m gonna give it to NKato, he guessed $4700, estimate is $4612.50

I’ll update you guys more with the plan for repairs but it looks like I’ll be starting my first real mods on it!

All damage is cosmetic and visible.

I’m fixing what’s necessary and pocketing the rest. It’ll look better and I’ll save a lot that I can use towards mods

$ 5875.

Bumper, metalwork on fender, paint & blending, clips under bumper. The question really is whether they deemed damage to the wheel.

it does “need” a headlight, but it’s just scuffed but will be covered by insurance

PS - What year, model and Year? My suggestion is find one the same color and get the fender and bumper skin on http://www.car-part.com/

My guess is the headlight is fine other than a broken tab or two, have the guy epoxy it back together.

Then find a good body guy and tell him you want him to make just as much money as if he did the painting himself and get him to install the stuff and pocket the rest.

ironically, those are the 2 I’m not replacing. They’re super minor, so I’m just gonna do the fender and bumper replacement

Just needs a new fender. Some rubbing compound and wax on that bumper should make it look decent.

bumper is torn in 3 places, plus I’m going to upgrade to the S trim bumper

That’s what I think, looks cleaner and sleeker. Plus less fake vent is always better
