Were it not for the fender paint work, it would have been a fairly simply replacement of front bezel, front bumper/reinforcement, etc.
Pay extra attention to the paint repair. Check it thoroughly for match and finish. Do not accept less than excellent paint work.
Most likely, they will have to blend into the passenger front door, so check that over as well.
Good luck!

geico has a bunch of body shops which they have done business with before. we also get a lifetime warranty of the repairs. so basically if they're are any cracks in the paint or fading or anything happens under normal wear and driving they repair it for free... again lol

Dang, I feel you pain. I was driving home from work in my '09 Storm Silver Sport the day after I got it and was hit on the passenger side. The total work would have cost $4800 for mine, but I worked out a deal with my Honda Dealership/Insurance and got a brand new replacement '09 Sport in Crystal Black.

no pictures yet. the body shop did a horrible paint job.
very cloudy and kinda looked orange. thank god for geico and there guaranteed for life body shops...
brought it back today, lots of orange peel, some fish eyes in there too
they said theyre gunna wet sand it and hopefully re clear the whole bumper....
and if they do a shitty job again, we'll bring it to a different shop.

pics postponed till the rain clears
I know a girl who gets confused with the brake and the gas. totaled four cars that way. ironically she has a fit now, in which she did $3K worth of damage by backing into a large truck that was directly behind her and was not moving. she is in VA.
