Not a good deal if you ask me. I guess if you're paying somebody else to do all that work, it's about average. I'd just get a new front clip from a junkyard, and the other parts you need. Might cost you $100 at the most. Sand it down, spray it with primer, and take it to the body shop and have them paint it to match the rest of your car. Fenders are easy to replace, and a front clip is REALLY easy to replace. Matt

Defantly get a good front clip from the junk yard. I got an entire front end from a 87 IROC for 250.00. Do what KC10Chief said on the priming and then give it to the painters and install the new parts yourself. That would be the way i'd do it cause you'll save more money doing most of the work yourself.
