Rather than asking random people on the internet from all across the country... go to a local bodyshop and ask THEM

i just got my car back bro from the shop and i can tell u this.. if your insurance company has to pay out then it goes on ya driving record.. now if u are not at fault then contact the other persons insurance. No matter what if your insurance has to pay out to fix your car it goes on ya driving record.
The body shop i just left from charges 42.45 an hour.. so look at it this way.. to paint will be about 2 hours.. then body work 2.5 hours. the price of the pain XXX, any parts that will need to be bought XXX so add all that up and include tax and that will give u an idea

My KurumaZ bumper was backed over a few weeks ago while it was parked. I had four gouges over the top and it wasn't that bad, but not perfect like the rest of the coupe. Notified insurance and was told it wouldn't go on my record but I'd have to pay the $500 deductible. My bodyshop charged me $535 to do the job complete....why bother with insurance. With your front fender check our MARKETPLACE under vendor exterior for a fender or call our sponsor Infiniti dealership....Riverside Infiniti ask for Tony 800-913-3130. He gives members a discount compared to other dealerships....

first and foremost did you file a report with your local police department, if you haven't then you need to. Second highly recomend going thru your ins. only b/c this should be covered under Comprehensive and not collision, so your rate can not change since you were not involved an accident. I work for a body shop and like monteitis said you want to get your fenders and possibly your hood blended. Why pay out of pocket when it wasn't your fault unless your saying it was.

If I were you I think I would go the non insurance route. This only applies if you are someday planning to trade in your car. It has been my experience that if when the dealer runs a carfax and finds that the car has been in an accident no matter how small it gives them the perfect excuse to immediately offer you less money. Even after you explain to them as in my last case that something as small as the bumper cover had been replaced they immediately assume your minimumizing the damage and down goes the value.
