If just bodywork, I'd estimate $1500-$2000 (fender, front fascia.) looks like you didn't damage the hood or headlight. Any steering/suspension damage?

the only damage the headlight got was somehow the blinker for the directional broke so its just the orange light. also the whole part that holds the air filter broke too. then a small dent on the rim (you cant see in this pic) i can live with the dent in the rim for a little while.my aligment needs fixing since i jumped on a curb. i will go get a complete diagnostics on the car sometime monday or tuesday, as for 1 question. $1500-2000 dealer price? or would that be if i would take it to a bodyshop?

You'll find the price to be about the same.

Expect $65-80.hour labor + parts.

I hit a deer with my F-150 and lightly wrinkled the fender & slightly bent the bumper, no other damage & it was over $1200. $1500-2000 is probably low....Yours will require a new front fascia, fender, and any other broken parts + prep and paint. I assume you're insured?
