Bumped a guardrail with the Rex driving in the snow for my first time New fender is a given, I'm hoping I can just pop out the side of the front bumper by heating it up, any tips on this? My main concern is the rear damage, the bumper part I'm not worried about, but how hard would the rest be to take out? I'm getting estimates from a few shops for the rear damage.





Thanks in advance

And yes my passenger side headlight won't budge due to the accident

 

Ouch! That doesn't look good. The front bumper screws to the front fender so if you get the fender straight the rubber bumper should pop out pretty close to where it used to be.

the rear end looks bad though. I don't think it's gonna be cheap.

 

its not gonna be cheap. the body shop is gonna use a stud gun to pull that out. its not bad but its going to be a tad pricey to fix due to the paint and man hours required to pull the dents out. the bumper will be fine. any good body shop can work that out with heat. and get yourself a winter beater and stop driving that 7 in the snow

 

^ lol yeah figured that. Good news about the front, thats my main priority right now becuase of the headlight sitting so low (it goes halfway down when I flip the other one down).

 

Ouch. The rear will probably run you between $800 and $1000 to repair, depending on how hard it is to pull the area around the gas door. Plus the price of a fender and paint. Can't quite tell, but I assume your tail light got cracked also. You are probably looking at close to $1500 for repairs from a shop, unless you have friends who can do bodywork.

 

I had similar damage on my Lancer (front headlight, front fender, front bumper, both doors, rear quarterpanel, rear bumper, and taillight) and the shop I went to charged me $1600 with a complete repainting of the entire car.
