Well…my brother and I were backing out of a parking space in a busy parking lot, when we backed into the Lexus (good thing it wasn’t one of the Bentleys, Lamborghini's, etc. that are regularly near there)

Back to the story, the damage was to his back left side/corner of the bumper. The side panel was pushed in and had a lot of our cars paint on it. I am kinda concerned about the top left panel (circled in green in the picture), it looks like the paint is chipping away. The back tail light had a very small crack in it and was a slightly scraped on the bottom edge. I got down and looked under the car and from what I could tell there no damage to the car frame.

So is there anyone with body shop experience that could give me a figure for the damage. My friends dad may be able to help get the dent out and order parts for cheap... Does anything needa be replaced?

I appreciate everyones help and input...

rear quater compaund, paint, bumper, compaund and paint, tail light replace, around, $500 labor, plus tail light. from what pics show, nothing else needs work, of course prices in your place may vary. some shops would fix the bumper, some would rather replace.

Yeah. My raw estimate would be $600 at least in DC area, most probably $700-$800...
