Agreed. A guy I know got hit in his Superformance Daytona Coupe last week. A small rear-end fender bender, he only got a 4 inch scratch. Body shop bill to the other person's insurance? $4300. The other person's insurance adjuster was pissed and said "Why do our clients always seem to hit cars like this?" LOL.

That said, I hope that everything works out for you Jersey_TA. I hope your car comes back better than ever.

Thanks. I don't think the guy fully understood how much this is going to end up costing him. I know the new emblem is around $85 and the blinker lens/housing is probably upwards of $150, then paint = I wouldn't be surprised if the total was somewhere around $800+

I wrote up a quick estimate for you. R&I the bumper, 2hrs repair w/full paint, bumper emblem, turn signal lamp, blend both the right fender and the hood and some gingerbread stuff at the end(color sand & buff, car cover, hazardous waste etc) and I came in at around $940 using NJ labor rates and tax rate.

It was just a quick estimate but it'll give you an idea on what it should cost.

The emblem is $54 and the housing was under $100 if I remember correctly.
