This morning I came out to my car to see my grille pushed in, hood chrome trim cracked and a nice hit into the front edge of my hood. The grille and trim parts are not repairable, and the hood I want a new one since imo it isn't feasible to fix. the person who backed into me did come forward last night and I have all his info.(he lives in my barracks) So now though, what do I do? call his insurance up? call mine? I've never had to do this before.

I will only take GM parts.
grille is 385 shipped
trim is 60 plus shipping
and aluminum hoods on ebay are 500-800 so an oem gm one may be over a 1000.
then add in paint work of at least 1000....

so I'm looking at least 2-2.5k not including labor...
