I had that happen to mine too. It was alot smaller than yours and was 1625 total. Any decent body shop and that will be over 2000.00.

Sorry to see that though.

I wish I could just get it buffed. Trust me, it's way deep. It's gonna have to be repainted. I really hate to paint half of a brand new car. I've had cars painted in the past, and it's never as perfect as I want it. That's the reason I bought this car new.

TurboGSR10, I'm so sorry to hear, but I can completely sympathize. I got my car keyed on New Years eve in Las Vegas. Someone keyed my car EXACTLY the same way as yours (except on the passenger side)! I bought new headlamps and re-painted the entire passenger side for about $1800! The paint job cost me right under a $1,000, but be careful. I just got my car back yesterday and they said that they re-painted the entire left side, but I don't believe it. I think they may have just buffed it out and charged me for a paint job. There are swirl marks all over the passenger side (from constantly trying to buff out the key mark) that is inconsistent. I don't know, but I'm going to take it to another body shop to get it fixed. Yeah, then the $600 for new headlamps on e-bay. It gets pricey, but I must take care of my baby! Someone should put all these idiots on an island and leave them all there!!!

Rickbeyer is right. It'll cost nearly $2,000. I got a good price b/c I was referred by a very very good friend. BUT then again, what am I supposed to do? Go back and accuse this person that he fraudulently took me for a BUFF job????

Thanks for the warning. I know a good body shop in my area. They painted my Integra and did the JDM conversion on it, as well as painted a bunch of my friends' cars. So I'm pretty confident they'll do a good job and probably give me a good price. I just got the appraisal from the insurance company. $1750!!! But that includes a new headlight as well as blending everything. I'm not sure it's gonna need to be blended too much, the car is brand new and garage kept. I just hope the color matches. Of course I do have to come out $500 for the deductible. You're right, these people should be put on an island. Then the island should be blown up. My friend thinks his neighbor did it. I think I may pay them a visit when I get home...
