Unhappy Just my luck!

I recently just bought a 2010 IS, so I decided to clean out my garage to park it in. Well it turns out I'm horrible at averaging the bookcase located on the right side of my garage, and guess what happens.



How much do you think it'll cost to repair it? =[

PS: Sorry for the crappy iPhone pictures.

Edit: The damage is on the front bumper (right side)

What is body parts are damaged and do they just need paint or need to be replaced?

Looks to be just the front bumper (right side). The fender is a little damaged, but I can see touch-up paint fixing that.

Looks like the rear bumper? You probably need to repaint the rear bumper. Price i think is roughly around $500+. Maybe less

Please explain what "averaging a bookcase" is so I never do it.

Seriously, though, I would try to buff out the scuff as much as possible to find out what you're working with. It might not be as bad as you think.

You know if they paint your car they have to paint two piece of your car to match the color, thats why its going to cost alot.

There's definitely a dig. I guess you could say the top layer of the paint is shaved off. Friend says it doesn't look difficult to fix, and will probably look exactly the same.

What the hell does "averaging a bookcase" mean?
