Thanks for the reply, Mike.
As promised, pictures attached.
A lot of road salt shown, but I saw the damage when the car was clean, and the scratches are not bad. The gouge from behind will require repair and paint, however.
I'm not sure how the washer nozzle shifted (not allowing the door to close, as shown) when the bumper is minimally out of alignment. I've tried pushing the nozzle to the right, but it won't budge. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Again, the bumper seems to be in perfect alignment otherwise (by the hood, around the headlamps, etc.).
In addition to what's circled, the fog lamp is lose, but works and is not cracked. I believe the bracket broke and hope same can be secured in place without need for replacement. Just called a dealer and the lamp itself is $250! :|
Three random shops came back with estimates of $650, $680 and $800 today; what a waste for sliding into another car in my own driveway.
Argh.
