Well i was driving hit a patch of ice spun accross a median and nailed a guradrail, all cosmetic work but the front bumper headlight fender door rear quarter panel rear bumper and tailight were all messed up in the accident? Just wondering on what you guys think its going to run me. I was estimating 6 - 7 K

So im guessing its going to be more than the 6 - 7k i was originally estimating, yea i was thinking going widebody but the only problem is if i take the money instead of taking it to the infiniti dealer and more problems come up, such as underbody stuff then i wont get reimbursed unless its at a dealer getting fixed. Im not exactly sure if anything else is wrong but just looking it looks like jsut straight cosmetic.

Glad your okay cause it looks like it could've been a lot worse. I would say it shouldn't cost more than 6k to replace all the parts. Good luck on your repairs though.

Im sorry to hear about the accident but im glad your ok.

I would say take it to a shop to get an estimate and see if there is any unseen damage. It may look all cosmetic but you just never know. If everything checks out then you can take the insurance money and do what you please...*cough *cough *widebody

Why does the work have to be done at the dealer? You can have it fixed at a body shop with OEM parts and it be cheaper than the dealer...

Make sure and have the frame checked for damage...

G/L and glad you’re ok
