accident..front end got clipped...

While I was out cruisin around with a friend on Thursday night, I was crossing an intersection right while it turned green and suddenly I saw an Explorer flying towards my car at at least 50-60mph blowing a red and swerving to avoid direct impact with the side of my car and clipped my front end. It then flew onto a corner running into a parked car. Yeah, I was planning to pick up front and rear lips from another org guy tomorrow too. How much do you guys think it'll cost to fix? Including parts, labor, etc. Here are some pics:






I hope I can get it fixed as soon as possible..my poor max...let me know your estimates guys. Thanks.

You did file a police report, right? Why would it cost you a dime? Does NY have a "no fault" law?

Of course, I'm just saying, I want to know how much it would cost anyway. Do you guys know if h4 HIDs would fit in any of the angel eye projectors theyre selling on ebay? I don't think theyre going to give me a new set of 2k2 headlights, so i need an alternative, i dont know. let me know guys.

You probably have frame damage. Check the position of your radiator and the lines of the car. Is the hood matched with the other fender?

Your looking at $2000 - 3000

This is about accurate... my buddy got into an accident where he lost a headlight, the fender and bumper like you.. after everything, including problem that surfaced with the motor due to leaking fluids it was around $2,500... good luck, sucks to see a max like that...
