i don't think it would be THAT much, but you are looking at a pretty pricey repair. MAYBE 4-5k.

if you are going for a decent repair job (OEM parts + paint + labor), then YES, it will cost that much.

I have a friend who got into a rear-end maxima and messed up al the parts that this guy has listed. The insurance totalled $9-somethin K.



good luck on your repair work. You'll need to provide detailed pics of the wreck so we can better help you.

i got in to a mean accident. was headin to town cruising at about 70 mph. then this lady is merging in to my lane. i thought she could see me and not merge so i keep on cruising but she keeps on going. so i brake and turn the wheel but it was raining so i just went straight in to her rear. her car was totaled. my front end was messed up but still driveable. when i saw the bill for the fix up the price was $10,805. i did not have to pay because it was her fault so she was hella bumed.

I dont think its too bad??? new hood.. i dont know the price but it should be about $100.. new bumper... $75... radiator support... ??? Hows the light? I see you have one missing. Depending on how much you pay to paint just in parts should be no more than $500... Unless theres something I dont know ..

You need a new hoof? hood or roof? or a new hood roof combo that no one TOLD me about Your car domain page doesnt have to many shots that show the body so we could see the extent of the damage, but the front end doesnt look that bad really. good luck

If you want to be different then convert your car to the I30 front end. You'll be needing a bumper, radiator support, both fenders, headlights, hood to do the conversion.

Well, to give you a ballpark estimate, or at least put things in perspective...

That cost $2k to fix (dealer body shop). My baby was backed onto by my neighbors Bronco.

If that little dent and scratches cost $2k to fix, think how much this'll cost...(happened yesterday)


Just to put things in perspective...

he is a little off... the body pieces are pretty cheap, and paint isnt much, easy matching, i would say 2,300+ for everyone painted and ready to go

Wow, you paid $2000 to have your hood replaced and painted? or did you need a new radiator support too?

let me give you extra ideas...









that was my front-end accident. full package including brand new bumper, fender, hood, radiator support, etc. for $2900. second option is only $1,200, but only consisted minor repainting and benting things back into its shape. personally the front-end of my car has been looking like that for the last 5 months, i'm probably goin for second pacakge. the car still drives fine.

so yea that gives you an idea...

Oh no. I didnt pay it, his insurance did. I only got a new hood, headlights, work on bumper and grille, paint match hood, bumper, front fenders. Thats it. Headlights cost $200 a piece!

And yes SXN, I'm taking that chick to the cleaners! (her insurance paying for it)

That was over $8k in damage. Your mileage may vary. I was hit in the driver's side quarter panel by a guy with a Jeep Cherokee doing ~30 mph.

You should just file a claim with your insurance company. It would make it a lot easier. I work at a collision shop, and from what I can see, your looking at $4000-$5000 in damage. That radiator support is a weld-in part, and is not easy to install. If it's not in the exact correct spot, you gaps will be off by a mile. There is a possibility that your unibody (frame) structure may be out of spec too. It may have to go on a frame/rack to be measured and pulled. Although the damage to your car might seem minimal, there is a substancial amount of damage to it. Good luck.

just got my car back from a front-end collision.

-hood
-front fenders
-front bumper (grill, lights, everything)
-radiator
-axles, rotors, and got my brakes done while I was at it

plus, like barrylaud said, my frame was out and needed to be pulled.

total came to about 5 grand...
anything more and my car would have been totalled. at first, the damage looked minimal, but in the end I was lucky I got to keep it.
