Details:

All damages to the front of car located by the left side..

Front of hood is dented in
Honda grill portion is also dented in
Smaller headlight is broken
Bumper is cracked and hanging from the left side.

As you can see in the pictures..

Just looking for a rough estimate so I can know how much money I have to put into repairs.

All posts are welcomed and thanks for looking/helping a brother out.

depends. You want to fix it yourself by piecing together the parts or go to a repair shop.
If you can find the piece at a junkyard you're probably looking at 600-1000 give or take

what do you mean by piecing together the parts?

im glad we now know you will be going to a professional, certain areas are differently priced. get multiple quotes. no less than 3 then you will have a good idea of cost

we cant see side of car or if anything else got pushed around or out of alignment. Just because it got hit in the front does not mean it only damaged the front

I rear-ended someone at about 10 kmph would additional pictures help? or is it something a mechanic will have to look at it.

Total = $480 + the cost to get the hood painted (shouldn't be more than $250....)

You can easily get away with fixing it yourself for under $800. Front bumper cover literally clips on, headlight is a few bolts, grill is a few bolts, hood is a few bolts...you can literally have it apart and back together within an hour with a simple ratchet and screwdriver.

Wouldn't be surprised if a body shop charged you $2500+ easily....And don't think they're using OEM parts either....most body shops use the same shit I'm linking you to..lol.

The shop is going to charge at LEAST 1500-2000 to do this.



Hood replacement: $150-200
Grille Replacement: $? not sure as I didn't look up the cost
Headlight replacement: $75
Replacement front bumper: $200

.5 hours: hood removal

.5 hours grille removal/inspection

3 hours: paint prep

1 hour: spray time

100 dollars-ish worth of materials.


And that's if they DON'T fix the dent on the front of the fender (which would require painting the whole drivers fender.)

If they DO fix that dent, expect to pay the higher range of my estimate, if not more.


Sorry this happened.
