Got sideswiped last night and the driver drove off into on coming traffic on the freeway before I could get their info, I assume they were drunk. Anyways, now I have all this damage done to my car and since I only have liability (stupid me) I'm trying to guess how much it will cost before taking it into the shop tomorrow. Does it look like there will be frame damage to any of you? I've driven it today and the alignment as well as all of the other driving functions seem to work but I'm still a little uneasy.
It looks a lot better today than last night though

Frame damage, no. You're best bet is to source a good used door, side skirt, and fender from a parts yard and have them painted.

Doesn't look too bad at all. I cannot imagine that there is frame damage. That wheel is toast though...

New door new fender new Mirror Dave , eBay have now check it out . No frame damage !

First picture does look pretty bad and made me think that it indeed has frame damage but the day pictures show otherwise, so you should be alright.

If I got these off of Ebay and got them painted would the replacement be easy enough that I could do it myself (No Bodywork Exp) or would I still need to take the car to a body shop to have them installed?

I'm going to take it into a bodyshop anyways to get an assessment and make sure there isn't any underlying damage but after they give me their estimate, which I'm sure will be pretty high I wouldn't mind doing it myself if they don't find anything else other than cosmetic damage to be the issue.

^You're best bet is to purchase the replacement pieces, install them, and drive to the paint shop of your choice. If you're not happy with the panel fitment, you can pay the shop to help with the fitment.

i've check last month they have your door also black along with mirror, u might wanna paint your fender though, ya bring it to bodyshop eazy job though fender door mirror done, that damage is nothing unless something like this on your bumper that's different story, if frame damaged you would crash your car too.

Did you not get the information from the other driver? Their insurance should be covering the damage, no?

Read the first sentence of his post; he said it was a hit-and-run by a suspected drunk driver.

Haha, wow. Not sure how I missed that.

Sorry Dave1931!

Check to be sure you don't have uninsured motorist on your policy. I have liability-only on two of our vehicles but uninsured coverage is included. It would cover you in this instance.
