The tail light lens will be around 150.00 if you get it from a dealer. An aftermarket one from somewhere like ebay will cost around 50.00. I would need to see the bumper to determine the damage.

Some shops will replace the bumper cover. Others may try to fix it. The bumper cover is around 400.00 plus paint, labor. Expect to spend around 7 to 8 hundred.

If they try to fix it, how much would it be and which in ur opinon is best to do? Cause the damage aint that bad. My dad told me it would be around 5,000 to fix it. Do you believe that?

5,000 us dollars? IF that is the case, either you live in a very rich area or there is much more damage that I picture.

As far as fixing, it is a hard one to judge. I have no idea what needs done. Often times, it is cheaper to have the part replaced because the labor is so expensive to repair.

I wish I could tell you. It would need looked at and a determination of hours needed to repair would need determined. Both will need painted, so that should be different.
