I just talked to the body shop that is fixing my car. Ended up costing me $921 dollars after I had purchased the bumper and lip myself.(blarf) I even installed the bumper. I havent seen it yet but he said it looks brand new. No body filler on the hood, they used a grinder and a stud welder to get the dent out. Pics of the crashed pieces below.

All in all this was a $1400 dollar mistake (hand)

p.s. they painted the entire hood and bumper and blended it with the fenders still seems like an awful lot of money but he swears you wont even be able to tell it was repainted.

Yeah I just wish someone else would pay for it. That couldve been a front mount AND exhaust
 
lol. Gbordon, if it looks new and you cant tell what happend to it, I think the $$ was well spent. I was sideswiped and there was $4000.00 in damage to my car, didnt have it for 2 months and when I got it back you could tell it was different, the shop did a s*** job and I was helpless because the car is insured under my moms name and she would need to complain about it, and refused to she thought the car looked fine.
