So I have a 2003 grand prix. And i was pulling out of a space when i was leaving school today, and i caught someones bumper. What i'm asking for is how much would it cost to get it fixed if i was to pay in cash instead of claiming it on the insurance i have. Please only comment if you know this kinds of thing. include labor paint & parts into it. Thank you

Your looking at a repaint $300-$400 at the least, Plus they have to get the dent out thats another $300 or more, probably anywhere from $1000-$1500. Based on other things they may find.

Shy of bondo you will not get that dent out. It had creased, so to get it like it was, you'd have to use a body filler and paint it. I was charged 300 to paint my fender in red, so it depends on how particular you want to be. You could probably go to a one off shop and they'd spray just the spot for under 100 bucks, but it won't be the same shade. Your paint is sun faded (like all older cars will be), so it is really hard to get the exact shade right. To get it to where you won't see the repainted spot you'd have to do a 60% over spray on the bumper, fender, and hood / trunk (depending if this is in the front or back of course). That would cost you 400+.

If it were me, I'd leave it and live with it, or try and find that bumper in a scrap yard or on Craigslist. That would be your cheapest option.

I Agree with 002. If you can find a mint scrapped door & skirt, you could bring it to a shop and get it connected (and even have minor dents pulled) for id say 100$+tax ( Including labor fees) You would need to get a matching paint job too. That would bring you another 200$. Without tax your close to $300 & unfortunately the paint most likely wouldn't match. Another option would be to bring it to a local GM dealer. They will fix your issue 100% but then your closer to $500-600. Hope This helps

You Could Fill the Skirts and Paint but as for the doors id suggest getting a 2nd hand door and respraying as it'd not be worth filling and painting again
