I hit a piece of tire debris on the highway and it cracked my bumper by the tow hook pretty bad. I got that and some damage on my a-piller repaired for 900. Find a good body shop in your area and get a quote.

I had some free time today and went by a Toyota body shop. Just from looking at it, i was told easily over $2,000 worth to start. bumper, paint, all of the underside plastics in front of the radiator, grill, apparently I also broke a fog light, and possible a 4 wheel alignment since i spun out. They said it could easily be worse once they get underneath the car. Seems to look more and more like i'll be going the insurance route.
now, i wonder if i can talk them into throwing in a full TRD lip kit...lol. thanks everyone for your help and advice! |
Lets see the damage.
I hit a tree stump that fell off a truck. It knicked up the bumper pretty good at the bottom and broke apart the grill. With a lot of handiwork/prep and $65 in supplies I fully repaired mine and most wouldn't be able to notice. Saved me from submitting a claim (raising my premium) and saved me $800 on a new bumper. http://pasteboard.co/1IAp1Fjx.jpg http://pasteboard.co/1IAr4G35.png (sorry, images aren't showing right in the thread) |

You would be surprised at the price variance of some shops. I got rear ended a month or so after i purchased my car. the damage was minor but i was quoted 1200 by one shop and 1400 -1700 at a few others. Go to 2-4 if possible it will give you the best gauge on who to give your business. |
did it die?

Same thing happened to me. Hit raccoon early one morning on my way to work. Broke the bumper, driving light & bezel, gravel guard, just like you. Unlike you, I had a deer hit me 3 days later in very dense fog, and took out the rest of the bumper, the headlight, hood, front fender, door, and rear quarter panel...did I mention I had already filed a claim on the raccoon damage and had to call my insurance company back and file another claim on the deer? They love me....

OUCH, I'd pay my 100$ deductible and get my car fixed. I would not ride around with my car all torn apart. Is that skid plate knocked out? A racoon did all this? wow
