To be honest, doesn't look to bad. Looks like you'll need a new hood and fender at least. How is the engine internally?? Is there damage frame wise?

Need to see more pics -- frame rails etc...

A rad support, bumper, hood, fenders + paint/labor as far as I can tell but thats only because I cant see under the hood in these pics

hood, fender, bumper, passenger headlight, core support, possibly inner fender panels.

add quality work and paint and you're probably in for around $1800+.

Or, you could just take your car to a body shop and have them answer your question...

thats not bad at all.
but we need more pics, pics of the core support would be great,
my guess is the core support is trash.

you need to get the hood open, all we can do is guess until we can tell exactly what is bad

I had similar damage on my old 95 coupe and it was around $2400. new bumper, new fender, repair corner edge of hood, replace headlight/corner light, replace inner fender (before shock tower), NO core support, NO frame damage. Paint fender, bumper, inner fender, blend hood and door.

PERFECT match and lifetime warranty. Paid for by the other person's insurance, of course.

I don't understand why people don't understand that quality costs money? If you can source all the parts yourself, you're still looking at $800-$1000 in paint/labor just to prep and paint the parts with a good product, not including blending the driver's door and passenger fender...

when i got rear ended last september it cost 1000 to repaint my bumper.
quailty cost money there is no way around it.

if you can get freinds to help or do the work your self, when i wrecked mine i did way more damage, hood,bumper,both headlights,grill core support, bumper bar, rad, condencer, both fans,o2 and 1 hose, i got it all done for around 2k. that was with my dads buddy doing the core support, i did everything else, all parts new with paint, but its not the best

An extra 20 feet behind the car in front of you would've been cheaper

Quit guessing and take it to a shop for an estimate. Everyone has already told you their estimations.

Now its up to you to do your own research and find out for yourself.

Quality body work isn't cheap. If you don't care about it looking like ****, then go for it, just pound the *** out of it if you think that will fix it.

do you have insurance? liability or full coverage? i would call them for recommended auto repair shops on your area, they often know who does good work for a decent price.

dont just bend the core support back, if its bent replace it, its a stuctule part of the car.
No its not that hard if you know what you are doing, but thats the key, if you dont know what your doing it will come out looking lik crap.
