Upload them to photobucket (or other suitable free online program) and just copy and paste the IMG code. Thats how I do it.

If you could get some good pics up then I might be able to spot something.

Look around on www.realoem.com

You can find some pricing on there for parts at least. But labor hours wise it is a big job, probably about 4 - 8 labor hours total at shops labor charge rate = total job cost of over $1k. (labor hours depend on amount of damage)

If you are decent with the 'ol tool set you may be able to do it yourself, but it is a decently involved job as you can see in this recent thread...

By the way, you posted the url from the address bar on photobucket...

Go into your album and click on the picture, then click/copy the img code from the list under the picture. Thats the one you need.
