You were only goin 20 when you hit, but you cracked a good piece of the rim off? Damm.
Do you have some false idea that the rims are strong? A 5mph collision with a curb could do that to a wheel.

Pallidamors, they will give you the check, or the body shop the check. Body shops are almost always willing to do the work for less and give you whats left. They will also order the parts you want... doesn't have to be stock replacements.

Looks like a $3500ish estimate to me [&:]

I cant tell, but is the hood alright?
This is probably the best chance to get a cobra bumper/new hood. (if the hood is on the estimate)

You sure that the car is totaled? Doesn't look like it to me. It's obvious that the driver side wheel/tire/fender/headlight and the front bumper are screwed, but that doesn't total a car. Is there other damage that isn't obvious in the picture?

Thanks Dan, so I can just tell the guy at the body shop oh I want to replace the bumper with a cobra bumper and thats it? Also will the cobra bumper fit no problem?

P.S. Anybody have any recommendations of body shops in the Miami Florida area?
