ouch... i mean that damage doesnt look to bad, still looks expensive, but hopefully you'll get it fixed. Sounds like it could have been worse if those other cars hit out, glad your alright.

WOW!!! I'm surprised at how little damage there is. You got lucky.

Have you talked to insurance?

need a new fender, bumper, hood and corner lamp. Have your paint shop paint it and DIY!

fender = ~400, hood = ~ 500, bumper = ~ 400 , corner ~45 shipped from Korea.

I'd estimate the damage at least to a $2000 check. Buy extra shit, like hood lifters and a sweet GFX kit. Get a turbo or something. You should have alot of extra money to play with assuming your paint shop dosn't rip you off.

OH, i see the radiator support thing. It's popped straight up. Are you sure it's going to require frame work? Won't that radiator support pop back?
