Damage estimate?

Hey all, my iroc suffered some body damage the other day. I am putting the car away for the winter, but I am trying to see how much I will need to save up to get her fixed in the spring. Thanks for the input.

Did your tread fall off the tire?

Damage like that around my town would go for a few hundred bucks w/o paint

Shop shouldn't charge more than $300 to paint and blend it. Maybe they'd fill that gouge for free.

Thanks. That is cheaper than i thought. Rim came flying off while I was driving. I was in the process of pulling over to fix it too. This is how the other side looks:

500-600 if you just drop it off at a shop.. 300 if you get a fender yourself and have them paint it...
