2600 seams very high

buy this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33656

or
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=36475

and then buy a factory rear bumper cover, which are cheap I believe 168(dont ask how i know)

Go to a paint shop or buy a gun and hit up napa get some PPG paint and fix it yourself.

Seriously I bet this could be all fixed for under 1500 and you would be FAR ahead.

looking at that ebay stuff, I would just buy the carbon fiber trunk, buy another tail light, and buy a new rear bumper, or better yet just buy a body kit and get that painted probably the total cost would be as much as they're quoting you or less I dunno, it's a thought like stated above.

Agreed. IT WILL BE CHEAPER.

Ask a body shops qoute on painting that stuff, my bumper was 500 painted. The trunk is easier to pain than the bumper. (the plastic requires baking etc...)

like I said, i got another estimate, and it was only $1400, the bumper is not the problem at hand, the trunk and the back frame of the car was pushed in and the part above the tailight (the body) is cracked also and has to be pushed out and sealed. I felt alot better after knowing thje price was cheaper. Also remember, I live in NJ where everything is more expensive then the rest of the world, lol, j/k. I want to keep my trunk, and just shave it. And maybe paint the skirts. I like to keep the stock look of the car as much as I can.

Here are some pictures of my car. The guy I bought it off of had wrecked it pretty bad.





Here it is after he got it fixed:

Go for paintless dent removal - will be much cheaper, and look just as clean. You'd be amazed at what they can get out.
