Angry jackass hit my car

long story short, its his fault. i'm going to need to replace the passenger side front quarter panel, front bumper, and passenger headlight. how much would you estimate this is going to cost? I'm really, well, furious right now, but i'll go into more detail and post some pics later. thanks for your help.

Well i would think in the $1500-$2000 range if you get new GM parts. Not trying to be rude but quarter panels weld on and fenders bolt on, the fronts are not quarter panels.

I got rear-ended in my SS about a year and a half ago. I was really pissed off when it happened too, but **** happens. It can be fixed. As long as his insurance is OK to deal with it shouldn't be too big of a deal. Will certainly be some $$ for his ins. co though. Prolly over $3K.
My damage was $2,600.
Hope it's like new again soon.

a new bumper cover is in the 400$ range, same with the front fender, headlight is around 200 or so. plus paint and labor costs..close to 3k.

when some guy hit me, i had the rear bumper, ds q.p., front bumper, ds taillight done. and all repainted and the ds door and front fender had to be touched up to make it all blend, and it was a tad over 3k

some girl backed into my car and bruised the clear coat, spider cracked it, gouged my spoiler, and scratched my rear filler panel, the quote was 1300-1500 and that's just to replace & paint, that's not talking about any structural damage and stuff. Unfortunately, it really adds up.

From what you discribed $ 2,200.00 with GM parts ( In NO. VA.). Be careful about inner damage also. P.S. I have a shop and did the estimate on "Pathways". Good luck!

2 years ago I had wrecked mine, damage to the rt. fender, front bumper cover, the SS hood, and lt. fender since the hood got pushed up and over it, rt. H/L, rt. turnsignal and radiator core support. Add in cost of labor and paint, $7000. Insurance paid for all but $500.

Good luck getting your car fixed. I just have a few minor scratches on my front bumper from some *** that ran over the top of it. The dealer quoted me $120 just to buff out some scratches. They said it shuold take them 3 hours to fix. And people wonder why I freak out when someone parks to close to me!!!
