Body repair advice?

[fongster]

I screwed up today and caught my lower passenger side front fender and lower front bumper body trim (where the foglights reside) on a stone planter. Arrggghhh!!! Gouged it real bad and popped the painted front body panel/cowling loose. It looks like I need the front cowl reset (won't push back into place tightly) and a new lower bumper panel (the part the foglights sit in) installed. Would you go to the dealer or a paint and body place? No painting needs to be done. Thanks.

Ugh! Just got two estimates from body repair places. They pointed out that the lower bumper is part of the entire front bumper/grill assembly. The whole frickin front end has to come off, be replaced and painted.

You might give Carsmetics a try. They have a location in the El Toro/Mission Viejo area, but there are other locations in OC.
