Default 6th gen monte accident

this might be a problem I backed into a flat bed trailor at the end of the day at work leaving...complete accident. i'm curious what you guys think this might call, and if possible some community support would be great if somebody could help me with parts. we're looking at corner panel work, and paint, sealer, possible complete bumper cover swap if i can find a matching one and a tail light is needed. let me know guys.

Well silver seems like the most common color monte carlo, so i think youd be in luck there.

Not too bad of damage, a taillight runs around $80 on ebay for a good one usually sometimes u can find one cheaper (if the inner lens isnt busted on yours i might be interested in it) bumper cover isnt too bad might beable to heat it up & form it back & sand it & put a lil filler on it but if u can find a used one the same color that would be the way to go & the quarter panel dosnt look too bad either but would know more with the taillight off, but all in all it shouldnt take too much to get her lookin good again

OUCH! You can possibly use car-parts.com to find some of the pieces you need. But first, contact a reputable body shop, see what they say about everything. Perhaps the bumper is salvageable.

I skidded into a guard rail in the rain and got damage like that, becidethe light, and the shop told me it will be better to get new parts. So that is the route I am taking, I am gonna go with a whole new body tho, and new parts are cheaper then you think

You can find single taillights on ebay - try morad - I bought a used side view mirror from them.
