Attached I indicated which part is bent. Only that front part.
What do you guys think?

insurance? if so then it should be 100% not 99%. i figure they would have to replace that whole piece, bending / pulling just doesn't work the way is should
. anyhow that repair cost of that surgery may outway the price of the vehicle at which point they would total it. i know you said 4k diffreence between fix and new, but how do you have an estimate if your not even sure what the process is. pulling and welding will not be the same cost at any shop. also, i dunno how you'll get your hands on a new piece like that anyhow.
