Body guys i need advice please
So i have no idea when this happened because i rarely look at this side of the car but someone must have backed into or slid into my car and took off. I imagine it was sometime within the past 3 days. Setting aside the fact that i am unbelievably pissed off right now....i need some advice on how extesive this damage is and an estimate on how much it would cost to have repaired.

Now as far as i can tell the bumper is plastic and not cracked but the paint is destroyed....however the fender looks curled in! 
Any comments or helpful advice will be much appreciated
Thanks

I'll say $600, but I cant tell if your fender got kinked than it could be more.

I have heard good things about Ideal auto body in Raritan (on Old York Rd on the way to Duke Island Park). You may want to give them a shout.

get a new front cover...mine was 125 for my 94 and I got a quote for 100 for my 86 T/A. go to the dealer get the match paint and some clear coat. its not terribly hard to spray your self but it takes alot of patience. they come with on primer on them so all you need to do is clean it with soapy water and with micron cloth, any thing more coarse and you'll dig the plastic. carefully spray on a few coat at a time of color(this time of year, make sure you in a well ventilated warm room) wet sand it with regular 1500 grit paper clean it with soapy water and dry it 100% perfect. spray your top coat let it set and spray on as many coats as you feel it needs (4-9) let it dry for 5 hours at least. wet sand again and wax it.

A buddy of mine works at Tierno's...says the place is pretty decent. Do not try to use spray bombs to paint a fender....or to do any paintwork for that matter....it's just hack. If a new fender and nose are cheap pick them up and just have them painted right by a shop. If you need someone to do it let me know and I'll shoot them for you for a decent price. And make sure you sand the factory e-coat primer until there is no shine left to it or you will have adhesion problems if you try doing it yourself.

tiernos is good...they did my front end after my accident 2 years ago
they are good but expensive....they gave me a ball park estimate of 1100 to 1900 and it ended up costing me 2500! so eh
