anyone have any idea of cost and time? (we are going through insurance) this is what my assumption is:
New Bumper, 1500.
New Headlight (set?), 1500
New fender, 800?
Tint headlight + rewraps, 400
Wheel no damage.
Mechanical damage: undetermined
Minimum of parts and labor: $6000.
Time: who knows...

WOW! My heart hurts when I see your car pictures. Some one hit and run my car in the parking lot n left a big scratch on the rear bumper and I already went crazy, so I can feel your paint now. If you live around San Jose CA, I recommend the USA Touch Up. They do a really good service n even got 5 stars on Yelp.

Damn dude...that really sucks...What's your brother drive? How much damage to his?
He must have flew out the driveway not even thinking there was a car parked behind him. Just an overall nightmare...good luck with repairs!

thats a bummer, id kill my brother haha, but honestly its not that bad, 2 years ago i lost control on a wet road turning and took out a curb and stop sign in the exact same spot but i ruined a fender, rim, control arms, front bumper, cracked a rotor, and bent the sway bar. all that cost the insurance company about $6500 im thinking at most you may end up paying is around 3k. assuming that no other damage was done to the suspension. i would take it to lexus to have the work done. the price is generally the same as most body shops and they do great work.

umm, like 5-10 mph haha. there was only about 6 feet of space between his car and mine. maybe 10 feet at the most.
devastated! my poor baby ha. Yeah, was thinking of upgraded to a fsport bumper. but sffd103 gave the idea of doing ISF front, he got me thinking lol. But then i will have to part ways with the HID fogs you sold me. decisions decisions...!
