a rock hit my car. about the size of a grape. i was soooo mad! i just wanted to kill myself. Then the next day i was fine. Probably gonna cost you an arm and a leg, and maybe some fingers to fix it.

If your jambs/pillars are pushed in as you describe, you might be looking at a total loss. Can we get some pics?

these shots it doesn't look that bad, they can skin the front door possibly, if you request that they use used parts instead of new they should be able to save your car, new rocker skin and b pillar skin, and probably 2 doors and it should be good, you made it sound really bad

if it isnt your fault, hopeuflly the other guys insurance will cover it for you. if not thast what your insurance is there for. it sucks that your rates may go up but its better then having to spend a ton on body work. i see your from teh island, i know a great body shop that does amazing work if you're looking for a good shop. theyre quite expensive but they do amazing work, they take their timeand use all parts for the ones that are damaged.( i used them when i got into an accident with my car, cant tell the difference ) if you're interested PM me, ill give you their name and #. good luck with everyhting hope it turns out ok

it looks like its around 3 - 5k in damage thats worse case scenario

now if the roof/floor were buckled you'd be looking towards a new car

It needs at least the front door and possibly the rear door replaced. The rear door maybe can be skinned. It may also need a replacement of the door latch post. Repair will involve painting the entire right side as well. I would guess cost based on these photos as between 3 and 5k also.
