My mom said she ran over a "cone" of some kind. Somehow I think there's more to the story.
From the pictures, it appears that it will need a new front bumper cover and respray, new center underbody panel, and a new left underbody panel. I did not get an official estimate but I priced the underbody panels to be about $350 alone and the bumper is likely to be another 1k. I don't think that bumper is repairable since the crack extends from the edge?

So yeah, probably about $1300-$1400 to properly fix this. I don't know how well the pearl white paint can be matched either. Dad doesn't want to fix it (since he said it will probably happen again) and told me to just duct tape the underbody covers back together as a temporary fix.
Thoughts?
