pickin on a parked car

Hey some lady scraped her suburban across the driver's side front clip
today,as my camaro was parked.
I was out on the road..luckily some of my coworkers nabbed the lady
before she pulled away.

Anyhow i was wondering if anybody knew what a whole new front clip
cost?

fortunately for me the lady that hit it is paying for it so I don't need to go that route.

got an estimate today at GM dealer locally.
2210.00

husband of lady asked why so much?
Wrong car to scrape against....front clip cracked
with large hole...front quarter damaged..light cover
and some additional paint work.

thanks for the input....much appreciated

driving skills? sounds like she doesn't have any, to hit a parked car. just further proof that the majority of housewives need to stay the **** out of SUV's. i hate SUV's to begin with, and i hate them even more when they're driven by stupid people that cant' even see where they're driving/parking.....
