Default Hit a pole

So I had just got done working a 12 hour night shift and I was a little tired/careless. Any ideas on how much this is going to cost to fix?

Lolololol. Says the person who doesn't know the difference between sight and site, among other things. If you don't have anything to contribute then GTFO.

OP - I would get at least 3 different quotes so then you'll have a good idea what to expect. Make sure you find a trusted place, however, or you'll end up with something worse than it is now.

Good idea as well. It's bound to get more chips and scratches if you can live with it for the time being. Then just fix it when you upgrade your bumper to a nismo v2

Agreed - do folks think you send a picture to the insurance adjuster and they magically come up with a price? No one can give you anything close to an accurate figure by looking at a couple of pics. These threads are a waste of bandwidth.

OP - Prices may vary between shops, so I'd get a few estimates before making your decision. My guess is it will be a few hundred at the very least to repair something like that and respray it. I'd also advise you to see a sample of the different shops you visit's work.

This was my first thought when I saw the thread title.

+100

We are not adjusters or genies here, that's why I am not going to give you a ballpark figure. We can only give some common sense. Every body shop will look at it differently and give you different quotes.

Get in contact with your insurance, get your estimates and go from there.
