My Ex's C300 we bought hail damaged, I was able to fix 70% of the dents by replacing the hood and trunk myself both OEM which I got for about $500 each new on eBay. Paint job was done at her brother's automotive school by the teacher so it came out flawless and free and installed myself. Considering aftermarket 507 hood is around $700, grill is close to $200, and bumper $500 after paint he should be around 2k
I was referring to the body kit looking more aggressive than amg lol

Bro, I'm not here to argue.
Its a body kit in the first place.
It's no better saying "Yeah its a random Chinese company based on a fiat body kit for Mercedes" If you get what I'm saying. AMG is something to base designs off of. If they're throwing AMG badges and 6.5 badges, then I agree.

That prior design kit is really nice... I like boca design and it reminds of them!
Make sure to check for more damage to rad and the rest! not trying to scare you either, but I chose not to go through insurance when I hit a porcupine, and it cost me over 14k CAD.
