They replaced the fender and the side skirt and sprayed the whole side of the car. The mica paints are a 3 step process and they say difficult to do.

I think mine needs a new fender too. the wheel seems fixable. the bumper depending on how broken it is might need a new one.

Sorry about the accident. Anyway, at least it wasn't you who got hurt.

Like others posted before, I would be worried about damaged suspension components more than anything. I made them check the alignment just to be sure.

You live in Palm Coast?
First week with my first 8, I had someone key the entire side of the car and ding the fender.

Why go through that much trouble?
Just have pictures of the three lights on the dash, since your car is an '09.

Just say After first red bar turns off, you can safely turn off the car.
That's what they're there for, after all.

BC.
