went to a body shop, they estimated 4450.... alittle much when i could buy the parts for 1000 and put em on. the only real damage (not including parts) to the car, is the thing that holds the bumper on and radiator, and its just bent back. he was talking about welding on new metal and all this crap, but looking at it. theres no welding needed. the only peice that looks like it would need to be welded (looks like it broke off) was just the very tip of the peice that broke off. if u compare it to the other side. the peice that broke off, didnt have any screw holes or anything. everything needed on that peice to hold hte bumper on, is still there. so i dunno what to do. do i go buy parts from andysautosport, or from a member here, or do i go to this shop and let them handle it? i mean if i do it myself ill save ALOT of money. cuz honestly, 4450 is a **** load of cash for sumthing so simple?
look for yourself and give me your opinion.

is there frame damage to the car? they might have to put it on a puller and that could be what's making the price so high. and yeah, disassembling all of that front end stuff is a ton of labor, that's what they're charging you for.
