that is bad news...sorry to hear that. no idea really my friend of the cost to repair..do you figure to fix it by yourself or get a body shop to fix it? either way it doesnt sound cheap well what can i say, it was a very expensive lesson. you probably wont be doing what you did again..good luck with the fix

Well, I still have my entire stock front end from when I switched to MS. If you are ever in El Paso, I'll sell it to you. Of course it's VR.

When I destroyed my bumper, reinforcements, light brackets, headlight, and miscellaneous parts(sp?) it cost me about 1.5k to fix. Although my dad was a mechanic so he did all the work while teaching me some things. Regardless yours seems a tad worse so I say the 2.3k estimate is not to far off.

Uhh, that's: "1.21 gigawatts". Christopher LLoyd actually pronounced it wrong throughout the entire movie. Think "giga" in terms of CPU speed...

Sorry to hear about your accident, dayvei. The shock after the accident will linger for a little while. Just don't kick yourself too hard about it... **** happens, dude. You'll feel better soon. Talk to your friends about what happened, even if it was a stupid move that caused the accident. It'll make you feel better to laugh about it.

And you're right: at least nobody got hurt.
