I think that bumper will clean up with some detailing. I also think the others are right that you can get a new headlight bucket from a junk yard already in white. Don't think it should cost too much if you do it yourself. If she wants it fixed by a bodyshop before you get back you may get raped. You are lucky that hood wasn't damaged. REAL LUCKY! They cost a small fortune.

Well, finally got the results back. Those dirty mother fuc#ers at Offutt collision repair want 700 dollars. And by the way, the only thing damaged is the actual head light cover. It says right on the estimate "Parts: 56.95" They decided that my wife was not smart enough to know what getting ripped off feels like as they wanted to charge her 150 JUST for painting it, and then tried to tell her that he was going to have to charge her an additional 500 dollars in labor to buff it so it looked like the old parts. I get that the tint won't match exactly if you put factory paint codes on there. That's why a good shop would tint the new paint to match! Are they fuc#ing kidding? 500 dollars in labor to replace and paint a 50 dollar part?
