Based SOLELY on the pic, I'd say the frame is fine. Check the wheel on that side, there may be minor damage to the front wheel its self. In fact from the looks, there should be. If it's not more than minor damage to the wheel, alighnment should be fine also. Driving it would also show any alighnment probs. It looks like whatever they hit pulled the fender away and back from the frame. It doesn't seem to have had enough force to pull the frame its self out of true.

Tino.... just a guess, but:
new hood, bumper, corner lense assembly, fender and paint. Parts alone would be easily over a grand (very similar damage to the hit and run I fell victim to recently). Add into that, the three stage paint and your estimate is almost double.
But that would be a good excuse to buy a strawberry face conversion. $1500 for the entire kit.... pretty much bolt on. Then just have to paint it! Can't beat that for the money.
EDIT: The light assembly is tilted back severly. Either the mounts are just busted.... or the radiator support cross-member is bent to s***.

My hood and fender are totally fine.... I only need the corner light assembly, bumper and headlight supports. The total estimate was $900.
With that car you have to add the hood and fender... and maybe the raditor cross member... then paint. Like I said, just a guess... but I bet it would be nearly 2 grand at a typical body shop. If your buddy can fix it... obviosly it will be less.

Last I heard, his price was... $1500 for the s14 to s15 conversion.... s13 to s15 was $2500 to $3000. Of course... this is Tino.... so I'm sure Daunt would double the normal price with little coercion.

I could pull that off just get a new fender do some custom tino work throw some duct tape around you know... grow mullet get a mustache and an empty six pack in the back along with a couple dead fish accompied by a confedarate flag. Dude! great idea I'm doing that.
