The whole front left side got nailed,but there is little to no damage above where the headlight is located.What would a person get charged for total fixer? Any way to save dough on a situation like this?

Figure about $1000

be careful next time! if it looks like someone kicked the side in with a lead boot, they might just be able to lightly "hammer" out the dent from the other side of the bumper as it is made from synthethic material. if not, shop around your trusted auto-collision, body-repair workshops (maaco?) for the best invoice price you can get. if your insurance can cover it (deductible?), all i can suggest is bite the bullet and pay up. unless the damage is major and needs to be looked at urgently, the car can probably run fine unfixed for a while. during that time, keep shopping around until youre ready. good luck! (i should know, Acuras have the worst bumpers).
