Plan on at least $500 for a good shop to remove, repaint, and re-clear your bumper if there's no other damage. YMMV.

Man, the same thing happened to me in my '86 FC. It was the end of Prom night and I was just gettin ready to take my date to my place and some girl in her Dad's explorer backed into me! Got her info and repairs came to about $750. Then I fixed it myself and bought some new tires
