I can't catch a break., I don't think this'll buff out Options

yup. the body shop replaced all but my drivers side high beam. afterwards they were all brand new except that one, which had a hole in it anyway, so I spent the ridiculous amount for a brand new high beam from the dealer. most body shops won't go directly to dealers for some things, they'll get recycled OEM quality stuff so its slightly cheaper ...sometimes


heres everything I think applies to you that my body shop wrote up for me.....

PANEL, FRONT END $250
+ man hours to Remove & Install and Refinish

HEADLAMP ASSY, HALOG RT $125
HEADLAMP ASSY, HALOG RT $75
+ $25/hr @ 0.2 hours each

LAMP, SIDE MARKER RT $21.89
# 8173020230

they did replace my turn signal light for me but its not on the work order for some reason

PANEL ASSEMBLY, RAD SUP REPAIR - 4.0 hours
PANEL ASSEMBLY, RAD SUP REFINISH - 1.2 hours

FENDER, FRONT LT #538022B330 $245.49 + 2.9 hours
FENDER, FRONT LT REFINISH - 3.8 hours
+ fees for blending the paint to the door (because my paint is metallic ) and remove and install the door handle and mirror


all my repairs came out to $5,157. I had a $500 deductable

last winter in the time of about 2 weeks i hit first a guardrail, and then a deer. my dads friend has a bodyshop not 2 far from my house so we took it there. i needed two low beams, one highbeam, both front fenders, front bumper, and my drivers side door and back fender behind the wheelwell needed fixed also. all of the parts came from toyota, is this typical or does nobody make oems . they also gave me money for the wheels i skuffed up. all and all it came to 3300. thats 200 less than i payed for the car. i have full coverage and with the money for the wheels i didnt buy i used that for the deductible and payed him 500 dollars more to paint the rest of the car. if i ever get a digital camera i will put pics up he made it a kinda different looking silver with whatever he put in the paint when the sunlite or flourescent lights are on it it almost looks chrome.

ouch... but really, you should try to fix it yourself, you can get a used fender for like $75-125, a used front bumper for like $100-200, and a sidemarker for ~$10. then just have it painted, and it'll probably total less than a grand.

Seriously..or you can take alittle time and find a RED fender and bumper...you can put it back to normal for a couple hundred.

Preliminary Geico estimate: $2600. They wrote the lights up for $157 and $137, so for $500 out of pocket, Hello Projectors!!!!
