Still sounds high to me, just to replace a rim and replace/repaint a bumper cover.

Looks like it needs a lil tug to bring the hood/fender gap back into place. Also, when the bumper gets painted, the fender, hood and other fender will need to be blended to make it look like an invisible repair.

Half of me doesn't care because I'm deploying and the other half says I will just fix it when I get home. Maybe save it for a project

Doesn't look too bad. Most reputable repair shops will make the repair job look better than the rest of the car.

When and where are you deploying? What are you in?
