    Going about 10-15 mph and someone in front of me slid, hit a snow bank, i could brake even at low speeds (Ice... lots of it). It looks minor. JUST got it out of the shop from having an SUV reverse into me :(

    Any idea how much it would cost to repair? :p Fender is bent a little. This is the only damage. I just really want i like new again *sigh*

    I have the exact same damage without the fender being bent and the insurance quoted $584. I rear ended someone as well, their damage was under $500. The insurance to me was a bit inflated. To be quite honest your fender doesn't look bad, it's just buckled.

    I love this forum haha. You all respond so politely and quickly :) My girlfriend is sad, so am I. The bumper, I'm not really worried about. I just want to straighten out the fender. I wish I could do that part myself.

    The fender looks like it's detached as I can see the clips exposed. You should be able to refasten it with screws, bolts, Gorilla glue or a combination of those three things. Jack it up and take the wheel off to give access.

    I hope you get yours repaired, Princess9483. For mine well... I'll think i will do what I can to fix some of the damage, and the scratches will have to remain. I cannot afford to pay 500-1000 dollars for that right now.

    I also hope I'm not held responsible for the car that went out of control in front of me. I was 2-3 cars away going a little over 10 mph in a 25mph road. Even with the anti-lock breaks in the 2004 Prius, there was not a thing I could do. Even at that speed.

    Many have come to rely upon anti-lock brakes, I've found that even with these, it is helpful to pump the brakes when on ice. Not saying that you should have or didn't but I wanted to pass this along as a pertinent aside.

    i was coming down a hill to a traffic lite last week in the snow. i was down to about 10 mph as i approached and the lite turned yellow. i was pumping the brakes but skidding everytime i did. buy the time i got to the lite, i was still going 10 and had to goose it through instead of stopping.:eek:
