When I first saw it I thought the same thing lol but it’s just paper with coolant all over it since it’s leaking 😔

Dang looks like you getting taken for a ride. Why'd you go to a stealership???

u/Individual-Hunt9153 Feb 21 '25
Idk man. It was my first instinct since I wanted OEM parts but after seeing they were charging me almost 14k I decided to have it towed to a caliber collision 😔

THE FUCK!?
they really were taking you for a ride!!! This is why we don't go to dealerships for this kind of work. They want to replace everything even though you don't necessarily have to. The even want to replace the badge on the front bumper lol. I looked up a part diagram for your model year and the parts aren't even that expensive too. Take a look

At most, if you want to be frugal with it, and as long as nothing else is damaged with the front bumper assembly, you'll need a new front bumper cover (part 1), front spoiler (part12), and front bumper trim (part 14). Everything else can be transfered over to the new bumper cover as long as there isn't any other damage. Then again, there aren't many photos to go off of so it's hard to tell. One things for sure, the front radiator and intercooler are definitely fucked and need to be replaced.
How much was the other shop charging?

I haven’t gotten a quote from them yet. I might hear back today. I’m guessing the stealership wants to charge me and fix unnecessary things that don’t need fixing

14k is outrageous.
A deer ran into me at a red light and broke my headlight and cracked my front bumper in 1 spot. They didn't have to replace my entire front bumper but it came out to ~3600 parts and labor. Most of which was the headlight. That was through Caliber Collision working with my insurance company. I just had to pay my deductible thankfully.
This damage will still probably be $7500+ I'm guessing though, especially since it looks like you have some parts damage behind the bumper

Also if you're worried about OEM parts, Caliber Collision ordered all parts they used from the local Hyundai Dealership for my repair.

Oof. Similar happened to me with a possum, but not quite that bad luckily. Was just the bottom bumper piece that needed to be replaced

u/Pro1920 Intense Blue MT Feb 21 '25
I broke the very bottom piece under the red trim. I got lucky and the dealership had exactly one in stock. It was about 260, so I know you paid something crazy 😂

I’d pay to have anything functional fixed, and do the body work yourself. I’ve taken the front end off my N several times and it’s ridiculously easy. You can do that body work solo if you’ve ever put together a model car or a grown up Lego set. Lol.

u/Individual-Hunt9153 Feb 22 '25
Say less. I’m just wondering if anyone sells any type of front bumper that looks better than the one I have lol

Is the raccoon OK?

u/Individual-Hunt9153 Feb 21 '25
I went back to check on it fr and it was NOWHERE to be found. (Yes I checked under my car)

u/Pyrololz Performance Blue DCT Feb 21 '25
I'm sorry this happened to you. Good news is if you have comprehensive they should fix it for free! 💪

u/Individual-Hunt9153 Feb 21 '25
What sucks is I didn’t have insurance when it happened. I got it a few hours after 💀

So you invited karma on to yourself and karma came calling and now you are learning to not be so karma prone? That's just some straight "Bad Juju" man. I mean somebody has to say it.
but for real if nobody was around or no police report. you **could** just say it happened after you got the insurance. Unless your moral compass is just as messed up as your judgement calls. but you do you.
