Default Broken Trunk & Tail Light

Broken Trunk & Tail Light-img_9880.jpg

So i accidentally rear-ended my own car. The only damage is the broken tail light and the spoiler is messed up. The trunk is having problems opening up so i was wondering if i should replace my trunk or just get it fixed, whats the better and cheaper option?

1) WRONG SECTION. 2) take it to a body shop to get a quote ( its free). 3) if quote is too high ; fix it yourself. 4) aftermarket tail lights may be cheaper and may look better ( your opinion of course). 5) the oem spoiler you can buy painted from ebay. 6) if your car is modded and you dont want to spend alot of money painting parts , you can buy a carbon fiber trunk so you wont have to pay a shop to paint. Aerofunction is a brand that comes to mind.

Replace the bad/broken components and have the trunk re-aligned.
