How much money should this cost to fix?

Just wanted to get a rough estimate of what you guys think this will cost to get fixed. Its external damage only, and the scratch beneath the headlight should come off with some rubbing compound, so all the damage that needs to be fixed is on one body section. Pics below, its a 2009 G37 Journey Sedan with 10k miles. Thanks.

I would give a rough estimate of $2500 - $3000 because you might need a new quarter panel and the scratch sheild clear coat is also expensive.

It depends on the shop you go to, but I bet you're looking at somewhere in the range of $1,200-$1,500. If it was the bumper only it would be no problem, but they are going to R&R the quarter panel with paint, etc.

Agreed that most of the bumper paint transfer will buff off, but it looks like the section nearest to the wheel well will need paint and blending.

Good luck.

Price of a front fender, possibly front bumper cover and paint. Maybe $1800. More if the headlamp assembly needs replaced. Looks kind of like it is scratched in the photo.

Just my opinion....

half to repaint half that bumper, the clear the whole bumper: around $300

no idea how much the fender repair and paint will cost though. just shop around, atleast color match wont be an issue since you have silver

if you don't have to replace the light you can probably get away with under 800, if not. add 1000.

jeez what did you hit... a hand rail?

I gotta ask, but why not just go to a bodyshop and get an estimate. It's not like your obligated to get it fixed there.

Regardless, Different shops will give you different answers just like you are getting here. The important part is not price but, finding a quality shop that will do the work right the first time. Take your time and find such a shop.
