So.. today I had the pleasure of formally introducing my brand new 2011 gen coupe to a lexus es350... I was wondering if someone would be able to give me an estimate on what I would be expecting in terms of repair cost...

here are some images.. miraculously her car has about a wrench turn's worth of damage

What are we looking at for repairs?

well it looks like the bumper did a good job of doing what it does best..are you going to get your insurance to cover it or keep it on the down low??

most likely going to have insurance cover it, but If it isn't too bad I'm not sure... seeing as my dad is going to be taking care of it I'm going to assume that we'll be going through insurance

front bumper...$250-$400
front fender...$150-$225
paint & install...$350-$600

BTW since you're paying for a new front bumpers, you could look into aftermarket ones too.

My rear bumper + labor was $800.

Assuming the rear bumper costs similar as the front, plus a new fender, I would guess $1300 ish...

Thats about $3,000 in damages, if not more...

Bumper, fender, paint, fender liner, labor, shop supplies.
Then hopefully there is no underlying damage...

yeah, her right rear quarter panel essentially hooked into my driver side wheel well and since she was going about 20 mph faster than I was it literally just ripped everything forward..

Theres someone on here selling their entire gencoupe, literally. Try and find the post and see how much the current cost is for the front bumper. Their doing it as an auction so you probably can save some money.

Alright, you caught me... that isn't the same accident... here is the "damage" to the lexus if you can even really call it damaged compared to my front end...

most (all) of the dark stuff is just dirt from the roads its just that one piece bent out
