OUch!!!.. yeah your insurance "may" go up depending on how many accidents or other tickets you have. I agree with a few guys here youre looking at about 2-3K in getting it fix. not to mention the unseen damage.
My accident was similar and it ran me 4500 becuase I was hit from the side and messed up the wheel rods.

...unless your hood took the main hit. i hate how all those huge vehicles have such high bumpers, you just nose right under them and take their bumpers in the face. what ever happened to a standardized bumper height?

yup thats been discussed quite a few times here in the forums.. the bumper heights are always a major factor in collisions with wrecks.. our cars go right under and dent up the hood.. but in a way its also sometime a good thing becasue it misses the radiator/

Looks great bro, the body shop did a nice job. I would look into a clear bra and what not since you just had your whole front end fixed.

Did they buy a new hood, I would have bought a CF hood and had them install that instead, slight performance increase, added effect of unique'ness and perhaps less costly.

Actually I had the full clear bra before the accident but couldn't be saved. I don't know if want another one because it might happen again.
