Accident - Fender & Bumper Estimate

Best guess on cost to repair if you've had similar damage? Appreciate any insight.

Bumper looks like it should be fine and need refinish/repaint for around $300-$400. Fender will be replaced and repainted, another $500 dollars. If the headlight is damaged that can be expensive! They will also check your suspension and make sure nothing was damaged, and may need to replace your hood hinges if the hood was pushed towards the driver side. I'd say less than 1K if the headlight is fine.

OR

you can find a used white bumper and fender and install them, should be less than $500.

This hit and run costed $3700. New fender, new bumper had to be color match the fender so they blended it to the front door and hood.

This costed $2000 to repair. They replaced the fender, bumper, headlight and mounting bracket for the headlight. If I had to do it over I would’ve got the insurance company to cut me a check and I would’ve bought pre-painted parts and installed everything myself and put about a $1000 in my pocket.

Paintapart.com may or may not be legit, but is one source for painted parts.

great route for other colors but pearl white is a bit harder to color match without blending it to different panels.

If you go through insurance, I would guess 3k and up, BUT, if you find a local cheap shop that can do a decent job, probably 1k? Any damage under the hood?
