Default my car got hit

so today a girl took a blind corner in the parking garage too fast and too tight and hit my baby im not an expert, but im thinking that ill prob need a new bumper, new 1/4 panel, and possibly a new hood bc it seems pretty dented. good thing is she wants to pay cash so i can get me some upgrades and that piece of trim you see sticking out of my car is from her car, it got stuck in there. thank god she left a note tho. does anyone know how much a new bumper costs for a v6? im gonna start looking for a new bumper lol

Sorry about your baby, maybe it's time for a GT front bumper and a cool new hood.

I feel your pain. I got rear ended by a cop on April 2nd. Not a lot of fun. the whole repair to replace the bumper was supposed to be right at $600 but they ended up having to re-stripe the whole car for an extra $450.

yea i know thats what im afraid of but i really really really dont wanna get rid of my grille. im thinking i might just get a stock one again and then try and get a cervinis air dam or some other chin spoiler with any left over money. bc the street scene bumpers are like 500 bucks unpainted
