What still needs to be confirmed
- The bumper cover and outer taillight vary by trim and build configuration, so the repair shop should use the VIN to confirm the exact parts before ordering.
- The aftermarket total uses a reputable replacement bumper cover and an OEM-priced outer lamp because a defensible new aftermarket lamp price was not established.
- Bumper removal may reveal damage to concealed retainers, the absorber, reinforcement, or rear-body mounting points that cannot be confirmed from the photo.
- This estimate is based on the submitted photos and damage description and is not a final repair quote. An in-person inspection and removal of the damaged parts are needed to confirm the final repair scope, pricing, and repairability.
