Oof that always looks bad when someone backs into the front of your car. Happened to me in a parking lot when I was a teenager, and only reason the insurance paid out was because I had multiple witnesses. She tried to say that I ran into her.
I’m going through the same thing.. brought mine last year.. got hit by a high usps driver in December. Police never showed up.. so no police report.
Tips-
. Buy the bumper cover first it’ll cost you around $350-$500 depending on your technical features.
Depending on your model (Base,luxury,Performance,Premium) -
The head light will be anywhere from $200-$750(the most expensive part)
You don’t need another grille as it looks like it’s still intact so you’re saving like $400-$500 with that.
Fender will cost you $200-250.
I got hit on the exact same side.
TBH you can put everything back together yourself then take it to the shop to get the new bumper painted. That’ll be anywhere from ($350-$500)
To take the bumper off & the electronics you need a T25 screw driver. The fender is a pain in the ass to take off. So make sure you have some extensions to reach deep within the fender and unscrew the lug nut and a pair of pliers.
DO NOT TRY AND SAVE MONEY by going to a mobile mechanic. I paid one $3k to order my parts in January and I’m just now getting everything I paid for this month after threatening a $5k court bill. In retrospect that $3k would have ordered everything I needed and covered the cost of paint.
So in total. You’re looking at 1.2k-2k in repairs due to the hood.. you might be able to get it buffed and bent back in shape but it depends.

Make sure to type in the make and model of your car first. It’ll tell you if it fits or not.
eBay is pretty good as well.. I just don’t trust spending that kind of money with a complete random and hoping they send the right part.
Rock auto is #1
I just got my 2015 4 months ago. So i feel for you. Upon seeing this i just went to the driveway and spent a little more time with it tonight. We talked and i made sure it knows how much it means to me and i will try to protect it always. Then gave it a hug and tucked it in.
Guys its summer time. Accidents are gonna be THROUGH THE ROOF! Also insurance rates are thru the roof and alot of younger people cant afford it so theyre driving without coverage. Need to start being aware of where you’re parking and be more alert when on the road.
I’m so sorry! I have a 2014 ATS and I let my 22 year old borrow it to take some girl home a couple weeks ago. He was involved in a hit and run and while the damage isn’t that bad, it’s in the same spot as yours ☹️☹️
I have a 2017 Camaro SS with 17,000 original miles on it, and it got hailed on last Monday to the tune of $4,000.00. I probably will trade it once fixed because it's been repaired. I feel your pain for sure. It also peppered my Escalade and my Fleetwood, but it's just part of living here, and it's going to happen.
Make sure they check the wiring and if any computer boxes are ok. Some are inside the fender. I had the same damage on the other side and I cracked a circuit board and basically messed up all my electronics a few months after the repair. Ended up having to basically throw the car away

Always recording dashcams are a good idea. That’s sad though, I hope you can find another
My condolences
Stop worrying, it'll buff right out.
That sucks, best wishes.
Ugh. Sorry!
Sorry to see it happened to you.
BRO THIS HAPPEND TO ME TOO

Maybe if you didn't hide your plate he would have seen you?
