Default OK...i got in an accident,...i need estimate on damage! ( details inside)

And i got a dent on the drivers side, you know where the door opens? well imagine your sitting in your miata and you get hit at your 8 o clock position , well i got that dent there and then i had to completly remove the front bumper in order to move the car and a small part of the left front part of the hood is messed up and the left headlight is still functioning but its pointed downward alittle so its not aligned like the other headlight, the right side of the car is just fine, the car still runs good, its just ugly looking right now, can anyone give me a rough estimate of how much the damages would cost to be repaired??????????????????????

Here are some links to the pictures, hope anyone who specializes in this kind of work can give me some sort of price range im looking at:

As good of a guess you can get from those pics. Id say around 8 grand. I crashed my Mazda 6 into a Jersey Barrier and it cost me just under 6 grand (well insurance covered it). The hood, fender, mirror, grill, bumper, and a few other things had to be replaced. Looks like yours has more work. Thats where my guestimate comes from.

Check out the following places for salvage parts:

http://www.mostlymiata.com
http://www.partsgroup.com
http://www.planetmiata.com

You may get lucky and find some or all of the parts in the right color already. Shipping might be a bear, but it will still be cheaper than having the body shop by new parts and spray them.

EDIT: These are all salvage companies that specialize in Miata parts. It also appears that you have a 99-00 Miata. Keep in mind a silver color was available both years. Highlight Silver Metallic was available on 99-00 models. If you get parts from a 2001 Sunlight Silver Metallic, the color isn't a match.
