Not that bad man.. I say easily $300 could take care of that all, given you search n the right places, and actually want to replace the stuff yourself.. Just replace your fender, and headlight.. hood aint that bad.. And maybe look into a bumper..

It all depends how much the car means to you, and if you plan to do it yourself. Is any of the suspension messed up?

You definitely need a Headlight, Hood, Fender, and Bumper. Paint will cost a pretty penny, unless you have a connection.

Well how are your connections with people first off? And how much do you love your DA??? My DC4 means the world to me and if it's salvagable then i'm stickin to her no matter what's the cost is. I have alot of history with my DC4. So if it has some value to you cost shouldn't mean a thing to you!!! (emotionally speaking...not financially speaking)

ummm...well yeah its going to be more to repair than what the car is worth. it's a freakin DA buddy. Those suckers are 15-18 years old. It ain't no mercedes either so you ain't getting no cheddar cheese from the damage, this is what you do. Go to another place to get an estimate done and try to work it out w/ the shop to help get your car back on the road.

probably $100 each just for the bumper cover, fender, hood and headlight. thats 400, another 100 for all the little stuff and then you have to get it painted. I'd say 500 for a real ghetto job. more if you want everyhting to line up and look right.


is you suspension okay? If your suspension is jacked I would just throw in the towel.

looks like the mounting points for the bumpercover/fender are gone so you will have figure out somehting there.

Not a bad hit at all.....unless it got to the frame, but it just looks like sheetmetal damage. I'm guessing $700 tops at an honest body shop. If it's been good to you, I say get it fixed. The hood maybe salvagable, but the rest don't look like much. Any suspension damage?

It looks like over a grand to me. Most body shops are more than likely are going to replace the bumper(250.00), hood(375.00), fender(300.00), and air damn(100.00). Then they are going to charge for r/r, rep time, and paint time. I'm think around $1,500.

What kind of estimates have you gotten?

I would take this chance to upgrade to a nice new carbon fiber hood and nice new fenders and a new aero jacket kit and paint job if i was you.
