Default Took off the front bumper

Well I took off the front bumper and the drivers side headlight to inspect the damage from the lady who hit me on Friday. Not much damage below the surface (thank heavens!) A tab broke off of the bumper and two of the mounting points broke off the headlight. Now I get to put all back together...any idea if the headlight and bumper are repairable or am I going to have have them replaced? Hopefully if I don't have to replace them I can get it repaired quickly. Oh and it is sooo easy to take the bumper off of the S (about 30 minutes and viola it is on the ground).

IF the bumper is not scratched and it will mount fine I would keep the original finish

Replace the headlight

Insurance will cover - headlight is over 500

Well no luck with the bumper time to call insurance and get the car either into Rick Case for a Prestige rep to look at it or take it up to the place in Boca everyone has used. Looks like I will need:

1 - Front Bumper (the tab is completely busted off)
1 - Drivers side headlight
1 - straightening out the hood (heck or a new hood)
1 - fixing the front driver's fender since it has been pushed down a bit.

Just got back from the appraiser...looks like about $2300 in damage. They are recommending a shop in Pembroke Pines (closer to Weston) which is good for me. Anybody here used Pro Quality Collision? If you have was your expereince good?

I just ordered a Seibon MG CF hood and may have my OEM available reasonable if you are still looking in about two weeks.
