Got the estimate today - ~2K when said and done

A silver lining - I'm having them paint and install my TRD grille; 'less than $50' time and materials since they'll already be painting the car... they will be painting the outside trim to match my body color....

They also said about 5 days, so that's not too bad - I'll just get a rental for the week, which is nothing new because I've been working out of town, and hopefully everything will be back to normal next weekend.....oh, yeah, *pics of course if its ready*!

Thanks again for the suppout guys; I guess even being a defensive drive doesn't guaratee you anything these days.

Peace

 

For those that are intersted, I added some more pics I took yesterday while outside in brighter light.

Damage is a bit more visible.

Just glad to hear that you didn't get hurt.

 

It's not going to be ready this weekend.

They also found out they will have to replace my pass headlight housing - it works, but one of the 'mounting tabs' has broken off. Don't know how much the housing runs; doesn't matter to me, I'm not footin the bill.

Drivin my Chrysler Concorde around...

The housing will be around $340. Try to get the insurance pay for the whole assembly including the HID. That'll be around $1100. The body shops usually don't do a good job on reassembling the HID into the headlight housing

 

Well, I just got off the phone with my contact at the body shop and my car is done - in addition to my TRD grille painted and installed, so I'll take some pics when I pick it up and have them up Friday night

But, I won't be able to pick it up until Friday since I'm working out of town.

I asked him about the cost of the replaced headlamp, and he said it was like $360.

I guess they replaced just the housing and not the total HID assembly. As long at its the same as the driver side and doesn't leak, I'm golden, right?
