Default What do y'all think this will cost to fix

Ok was in a collision last night and basically my front bumper passenger headlight and passenger fender along with the rear passenger side door need to be replaced. Also looking at the passenger rear wheel it looks lik the impact knocked it off alignment because the wheel is now tilting inward a little. What do you think the cost to fix all this would cost. Also include an estimate to paint the parts the oem color if you could

front bumper = around 200
headlight = you can buy a pair of JDM ones for 90
passenger fender = probebly 60
door = 200
wheel = maybe around 300ish
dont quote me though, those are just rough estimates.

For a shop to do? Think in the $4kUSD range, plus paint. Insurance would probably consider that a total loss, as it sounds like the frame is tweaked.

:werd: IF the frame/radiator support in the front is messed up along with the wheel alignment (knuckles axle) your looking at easily over 5g's worth of damage. This accident cost me 4g's to fix.......

for the headlight, try Vans Auto Parts (if you have one) they can get individual headlights for pretty cheap. It doesn't sound like you need a new wheel, but an alignment is about 60. As for the other parts. look for a place online (if you are doing this yourself) that will paint parts for you. They will be a little more expensive, but body shops will rip you off.

Last november, an old lady pulled out infront of me on an intersection "because she didn't see me in the tretcherous winter sun". I got 2,900$ to replace the front bumper, hood, left lamp, and radiator support, and paint matching. So it's probably 4,000$ I'm assuming. I got my current car because the air bags popped in my 96, and the windshield broke, CV joint etc. So, the jist of it is, if the damage repair cost is more than the car, they usually call it totaled and give you a check for the ammount of the cars worth.

I did that last year. When I get it all done, with a CF hood it will cost me about a grand. New hood, rad, AUX light brackets, bumper, 1 headlight and new turn signal lights.
