Problem is, so far the shops I went to, won't give me an estimate until they start and they want to paint the whole car at the same time. I understand the reasoning of not letting any metal sit bare and not doing stuff twice, but I can't afford 5-6k at this point in time. a year, possibly, but not this summer.
I think I may try to fix it myself. Some tools and several hours should have it back in shape enough.
the outside of the taillight mounting holes are fine, the inner hole and key lock are pushed in about 2.5"-3". and trunk floor pan is buckled some but looks like it could be pushed/pulled out easily.
I removed the damaged cover and absorber and fit the replacement parts on quick.
