Okay, well, as most of you know, i had a little problem with black ice, and hit a guard rail on the right side of my car, and on the left side of the car, i had hit a deer. Okay, well went to this real nice local (local for me is 30 mins away) guy, he does great work, and he gave me a est of $1400-2100. He is going to replace both front fenders, front bumper, fix the dents on both left doors, paint both front fenders, the bumper, and the hood. also is going to fix the headlight housing on the right side, does this seem like a good deal to you guys? I am going to be buying the headlights (KDM style, or Ebay clear ones, iDK yet)
pics attached. Thanks.

For that much work, that's a good price. Paint and labor alone would be worth most of that.

How does he think he's going to fix the head light? You should try and get a more precise answer as to how much to fix it too. That's a $700 difference. Something doesn't sound right about that. Either way it sounds decent. For me though, i'd want a tighter estimate.

no, i am going to buy the headlights, I am not using the right words. The place that the headlight sits in, the metal, it bent behind the headlight (passenger side one) he gave me the option on really how much i wanted to spend, he said he can do it for $1400. He gave me a est of 2100 or so, and asked me how much I wanted to spend, i said 1400 would be nice.;) But he is going to do all that i said. in first post.;) Thanks.

I think he's going to fix the casing (metal frame. in the picture, it's bent) of headlight assembly. He's replacing the headlight assembly.

For that amount of work and that price you can't beat it with a stick.
