Well, never thought it would happen to me, and when I least expected it, BAM.

Yes, it was my fault, I take responsibility for the whole occurance, I should have been more alert. How much would you think it would cost to fix the damages to my car? Thanks.

My passenger side fender cost $250 to replace and repaint. Bumper cover wasn't too expensive to repaint either.

i'm thinking of getting a parts car of the same color and just replace everything myself...there's no frame damage.

Your best bet would be to find the parts in a junkyard or look in the 4th gen classifieds. Getting it painted the same color is gonna cost you a LOT. Not only that, it probably won't match. But good luck.

Good luck! I hate seeing another pearl white max lookin like that.

Ouch! I had very similar damage done to my car minus the door. I spent the money to have it all professionaly fixed and it cost me $3500. It was the most expensive body shop in town, but the paint matches PERFECT. There are no paint runs, no orange peel, no over spray. Plus they offer a life time warranty. The quality was A+.

I had similar damage done to my car some time ago. The damage was estimated at $1600 but ended up only costing $1200. I basically had the driver's side fender & door replaced and repainted and did a wheel alignment. You can save money by buying the parts yourself and installing them and then having it repainted at a body shop. BTW, sorry about your accident. It always sux when your ride gets beat on. Hopefully you will be back in no time. Good luck to you.

hoping to do the repair work myself...we'll see how it works out. Might even get a manual swap and coilovers to go along with it.

That isnt too bad imo.

1) Blend the hood
2) Blend front bumper
3) New corner light (and possibly bracket)
4) New fender + Paint
5) Door looks like a bit of work + repaint
6) Mirror repaint + possibly replace (can see it too well)

Hood honestly looks in fine shape from the pictures. You would want to blend the paint in with the hood anyways if you get a new fender. Bumper is the same case. Everytihng doesnt look too bad as far as alignment goes. That driver door looks like it might drive the cost up a bit though. Don't let anyone tell you that you need to replace that hood or bumper (Looks ok from the pictures), Like others said, find a junked Fender and Door panel. That will save you.

oof that sucks man, sorry to hear about that. that looks around 2 grand worth of damages to me

vsamoylov

its nto that bad man. you can do it all yourself and you might get lucky and find the same color parts. look at car-part.com and here on the org. and go to your junkyards also. they might have things. paint will be the most expensive thing.

it always hurts to see a max in despair...

Man this is like the third crashed max on the org this week? So depressing seeing all these maximas.

Anyhoo, happy to hear it wasn't too major (the bright side). Keep us posted!!

i think u can fix it for a G or less...just find the parts from the junkyard..

Dude in the Xterra was probably like,
"You scuffed my tire!!!"

tavarish

iTrader: (27)

yeah, all that was damaged was a part of the 3-piece bumper, and the taillight. At most, $200 worth of damage. No paint was scratched or scuffed. The whole damn back end was made of plastic.

Sorry to see that man. My Max got too close to the bumper of a Chevy Suburban. The bumper of the truck was unscathed. My right front headlight, and hood, however, is set back about a 1/4th of an inch relative to where it used to be. The light still works, but its crossed over the light path of the other light. looks like a lopsided V. The truck was untouched . I was like WTF?But sorry to see that man . Those damm SUV's
