my kid wrecked her Yaris. How much $$$?

[jack black]

Looks like fender and headlight need to be replaced. Liability only, so she is picking up the cost.

Problem is , what is hiding behind that fender what else is bend and out of place as for parts i know one can get after-market lights and fender.

Geeze it looks rough. I agree with the above. I'd be surprised if it's just the fender and headlight. If it is then that's a darn lucky accident. The fender bolts onto part of the body behind it which from the pic looks damaged as well.

Also check the right control arm and other suspension parts, the wheel likely took a hard hit

you are right, i can get aftermarket lights and fender for $100 shipped (for both parts). i'm also ordering side turn lamp and plastic attachment for the bumper for slightly over $30 shipped (for both parts).

What is the name of that triangular black plastic cover thingy next to a mirror? I need that too.

the frame behind is good, the fender hangers are bent some, but i believe i can straighten them out.

will do. the car drove OK afterwards, except for tire scraping the damaged fender.

Too bad she didn't have full coverage, especially considering she didn't have a car payment.

not really. i can fix it for her for less than deductible would be. It may not work the next time though.

now, if she is spoiled, that's a whole different discussion (she is).

anyone please?

I had a similiar accident cost between $3-4k for top of the line repair. Car internals were OK.

Im thinking mine was worse than yours.

They call if a front pillar upper cover. If it is the same as my vehicle the part number you would need it 60117-52030. I have a 2007 Hatchback.

Many thanks! yes, this is for 2007 hatch. i found it both on ebay and amazon: $30. i'll look for a better deal.

[brushforhire]

I need both for my vehicle, I broke them both trying to get them off to remove the fenders. I think OEM is gonna be my best best. I think OEM MSRP is only like $34ish. From my experience in the automotive industry, I think OEM is gonna be the only option for this part.

update. all parts are in, but still waiting for the paint. all under $200.

[brushforhire]

Awesome!

yup, i used spray paint from amazon. even though i used the factory paint code, the color match was less than ideal. even worse, their clear-coat was chit. i ended up clear-coating it with automotive rustoleum. i had good result with that in the past. i just polished it this weekend and it looks OK, besides the color issue. about $185 + my own labor.

[WeeYari]

Not bad at all, especially for the minimal cash outlay. Certainly a million times better than this.

Even the pros will never colour match perfectly. That is why in most cases, with a panel repair, they have to feather the new paint back into existing neighbouring panels to minimize the impact of the mismatch.

[brushforhire]

Not to bad at all. Red is one of the hardest colors to match, for that matter. I know our bodyshop will not even mix red paint without the car being on the lot so they can use swatches to get it as close as they can.

Nice job!

[tmontague]

Agreed, we'll done and kudos to you for doing it yourself!
