3 The damage I'm most concerned about is around the hood bumper/stop. And that gold bolt right next to it that mounts the headlight, it's shoved back (ripped the metal) about 1/4".

 

4 (what a nice manicure!!)

 

holy freakin crap!!?!?!?! 100$ for a hood? what kinda junkyard do you got to? I go to u pull it i got 2 aluminum hoos each 35$ in awesome condition no dents or anythgin!

 

hhmm, sounds nice! I think I'm getting the $80 hoood.



could anyone guess how much it should cost to straighten out what you see in the pics? Not including the hood, fender, and bumper itself, just the stuff underneath. I'm about to start getting estimates, and need to know when I'm seriously getting ripped off.

 

One guy estimated $2500 right off the bat, but he was thinking with parts and painting and all. He still hasn't called me back with the revised estimate. Though he did say that he would want to replace the cross member that holds the headlights, that he wouldn't feel safe just straightening it.



I took it to maaco, he offered to straighten the cross member/fender corner for $150, and he said I should find replacements for the other pieces and just bolt them on (they're currently welded on). But what the other guy said about the metal being weak if straightened kinda bothered me. hhmmm
