Still a bit steep. I'm gonna say $2k in just parts and the rest is labor and paint. whatever you do, DON'T use aftermarket fenders. get OEM. If insurance company will only give aftermarket i would argue it. They just do not fit the same period. Same with the door. I'd take a used OEM door over a new aftermarket one.

The top of the sign hit the upper cab corner. There is green paint up there that rubbed off the sign. As for parts, everything is OEM other than the new headlights. That is probably why the bill seems so high.

All in all it needs:

New:
Front Bumper
Upper Bumper Cover
Lower Air Dam
Fender
Wheel Well Liner
Door
Door Sill
Headlight

Repaired:
Upper cab corner
Rocker Panel
