Here are a few pics of the damage:





The headlight housings are broken in the back as you can probably see. The hood was folded like a triangle when it hit, but I bent it back before the pic. Do you think I can take it to a shop and have them pull out the radiator support so a new hood can latch or do I need that removed and replaced also? I am amazed the airbags didn't blow. No one was hurt thank God. The other car, an Acura Vigor (old and rusted) had a couple of white marks on the back bumper, thats it.

Total damage:
Hood w/ Emblem
2 Headlights
Grill
Front Radiator Support Frame
Hood and Bumper Paint Work

What kind of bill am I looking at here? Does anyone know where I can get cheap Lexus parts? Pick up or shipped? I live in Philadelphia.

 

wow! brings back harsh memories like before when i was in the exact same damage as your car . Everything was damage the same with your car except mine was only with the driver's headlight. I brought to a body shop and the guy charged me for the parts and labor and paint was 1500 total with parts for the driver side headlight, corner lamp, and grille plus labor was about 2100 if i remember correctly. I went to Rody's Auto body in cherry hill and they quoted me 4k in total so i guess i had a good deal. I wish you luck with this.

 

Oh. 2 grand, most of that matching paint. Mechanically, not much. Cut out, weld in & align the front support.
