Several panels to be sprayed, new drivers side glass, new rear bumper, some other misc. parts. Done by a dealer. Not a dealer's preferred shop but a Toyota Dealer which is also a Body Shop locally. I've used the shop twice before and they were good to me for the Porsche and Honda. Went by and talked to them yesterday afternoon. Will need the car for between 7 and 11 days. They are ordering the parts now.
Car goes to Toyota first for valve spring recall then to body shop. Mechanics hands before fresh paint.

Unsure if its an option or worth considering, but the repaint will reduce value... OE did for me when I had a panel scratched and fixed while it was at a dealer for a warranty repair. You may be able to claim for this.
