looks like the fender is dented, the bumper is cracked and you need a paint job. any other damage that i am not noting?

If it is all panels and nothing under (frame), then you might be able to get a better deal buying used parts on the boards if you are paying out of pocket.

yeah, no frame damage at all. i want to lean more toward the body shop route, but i also wouldn't mind just getting used parts.

can anybody give me an estimate of what you think the damages are worth?

retail would be somewhere around this:

replace the bumper (it looks torn at the corner) 200
or do body work on it 100

paint the bumper 300

body work on the fender (assuming they can pull that back out instead of replacing it) 100

paint the fender/blend the rest of the front end 500

repaint the lip 200

If you are going to get work on the fender, maybe you can get both sides pulled while you are at it. That's if you plan on doing wider wheels in the front in the future.
