Long story short got sideswiped by a camry. Here's the damage: http://azrael.crashsys.com/pics/ls-fender-bender-pa.jpg

I pulled the headlight out at a local garage and it looks like there is just damage to the quarter panel. There are scratches on the bumper but they look like some filler and paint will fix them up nice. Either way it's an insurance job, but I am curious if I should look (or ask) for other things to be inspected. Put the car up on the lift and all the arms and links look good. Drove fine on the interstate at 85 as well. Tires/Rims have zero scratches on them (that didn't exist from the previous owner anyways).

From my guestimate, it looks like:
New drivers side fender
New drivers side headlight
bumper scratch repair
Paint to match
 
I wouldn't expect any structural or mechanical damage.
 
If it's totaled, gimmie all your LSE/06 skirts/valence.

Just kidding, but I really need to find these dam pieces.. haha
 
I just had the same type of damage to my car (Pictures) I'm having trouble finding a new headlight but found new fenders for $189.
 
Was going to say the headlight is probably the worst of it. Aren't they listed at $1200 ea. or something outrageous. That's not just our headlights either. They cost that much for newer pickups as well.

HID's are like $1800 but the normal ones are around $400 new
 
Holy Motown! Sounds like you're better off going with the regular and installing the HID's yourself. I mean that's if you really wanted them, but they'll probably have a nasty glare to them.
