Default Backed into a light pole!!

Backed into a light pole the other day and was wondering if anyone could kinda give me an idea of what it would cost to get it fixed!

do you want it fixed right, or just a new bumper and the dent knocked out a little? im going to say easy 2k+ if you want a new bumper, new bed side and painted, unless ofcourse you shop around and get a $50 bumper and a $100 bedside from a junkyard.

Ouch. Bumper cover and bumper bracket, pull dent out, body work, prep and spray that side of bed. I would say a good shop would charge around $1500-2500.

That would be my guess too.

500ish.. It's right on the crease which takes more time to work out and get right. Body works like tattoos.. Alot of people do it but not all do it right.

Yeah if it's done with rattle cans. No way you can fix that correctly for $500.

Yeah, most don't do it right.

I meant 1500! Some dude at a bar backed into me and it came out to 1850. Similar damage.
