So I'm thinking about doing all the parts replacement myself and just paying them to paint a new bumper and passenger fender (estimated about $300 for the painting). That way I can possibly survive the wreck for about $1000 put into the car.
I do need to contact the recycler in Rancho Cordova on the off-chance they have a JBP fender and/or front bumper cover.

Plus, that way you know where the parts came from and that they got installed correctly. :wink:
