Can't repair the plastic so you should be able to get new headlights out of the deal. If scratches are deep enough in the bumper cover it will get replaced too.

If your car is still pretty new (under 15k miles) you most likely will get new parts for your car.

Don't skimp out on getting the bumper painted - if it's not done right the paint will flake off with the slightest bump! Make sure to get recommendations for body shops if you aren't sure about it's rep too.

It's always a pain when it comes to auto repair - but look on the bright side: at least it wasn't a hit and run AND it wasn't your fault. So after you're said and done it shouldn't cost you dime one (big emphasis on SHOULDN'T).

Good luck.........

The best paint on my max is on the right side where it got broken into. I had the shop paint the entire side and it looks WAY better than the Nissan side.
