Default New WRX body work help!!! Everyone Respond!!!

Well, I screwed up my baby. Need everyones help on Auto body work. I dented the front bumper, left front light housing is cracked, left fender smashed in, and the left front door is smashed in too.

Thankfully I didn't damage the suspension or engine. Everything seems to be working fine, she still drives straight as an arrow and runs excellent!

So now I need everyones recommendation.

I can replace everything stock, (my first estimate was $2550.00). I need to shop around further, I went to Mastro's recommended autobody shop but I didn't get a good vibe from that person. If you know of a good body shop plz let me know!!!!
Or,
Find the parts used and replace them myself, maybe even do a custom paint job or get them painted stock, I haven't decided yet. Would need to investigate the cost, if you have a recommended shop plz respond!!!


Everyones help in this matter will be greatly appriciated!

I have had good experience with the place right next to Mastro. They always hook me up and don't charge too much. I go there to get all my stuff painted.

yes, but haven't decided if I want to pursue that route just yet. My accident was just me, no cops, or any other person.

Well if it was a projectile or missile that hit your car while driving ,then it would only be considered a comprehensive claim and would not raise your rates. If you collided with something statinary or something already sitting in the road then it would be a AT Fault Accident which WOULD make your rates gor sky high! If it is comp and you have a small deductible then I would just claim it ; )
