Default welp, somebody ran into my car

They mushed up my right front fender and left a little paint on the door (the door looks undamaged otherwise, but I'll take a closer look tonight).

The whole front end needs paint because the PO used to like tailgating gravel trucks, apparently. My insurance deductable is $1,000, so I think I'll just replace the fender myself and then get the hood, bumper and fender painted. Any idea how much this might cost? Sucks... I could think of much better things to do with my money.

Pics after work

:edit: this was while the car was parked, I have no idea who it was other than that the car was white. Happened some time between Saturday night and this morning.

You should get the driver fender painted as well.
For 4 panels, I'd assume about a thousand for good work, 7-800 for okay work.

For reference, I had a chip on the reight front fender of the tl and they painted the fender, the right door, the hood and the bumper. It cost 800

As cool as that sounds, it might be easier and cheaper to acquire a brick-like object of his own locally. h:

Damn, that sucks. When i priced out just having my RSX's bumper repainted at a good shop, it was about $400-$500.

Figure the hood, bumper, and fender would be at least $1000 - $1500 for quality work with a good paint match.
