Default how much is this gonna cost to fix? (.... )

Yeah... I backed into a truck in front of my driveway while fiddling with the satnav today....

How much do you guys think this will cost to fix? I'm wondering because I'm not sure whether or not to make an insurance claim. If I do, I get it fixed for only $500 but then my rates get jacked up.












Hard to see the last one but there's a ~2 inch long scratch on the spoiler.

I highly doubt the quarter panel will have to go. That's definently a repairable dent. The bumper will have to be replaced though.

Basicly what I'm looking at is this:

new back bumper
repair on that quarter panel dent
new taillight
spray over 2 large scratches

Hit up Boyce Body Werks in Batavia or Naperville. They are Lexus certified and do great work. The local Lexus Dealers use them if there is any damage to the new cars. Call Ken Boyce and tell him Mike with the Red NSX sent you

this is what I would do, look on ebay for a rear bumper, you could probly pick one up cheap . The tails I would either look on ebay as well or replace both with the led one's from ebay, the rear quarters, I would go to several body shops and ask for pricing. GL.

it will cost more than your deductible for sure, but worth it enough to make a claim IMO.

I had my rear bumper cover replaced and painted not to long ago and the total damage was $977 so I think you're looking at the least 2k if you take it to a good collision shop.

Atleast $1000-$1500, if you buy parts yourself, and give them to a shop.
