Well, everything in NJ is higher than it is elsewhere LOL.

But $2500 for a bumper and headlight from a Lexus dealer doesn't sound that bad to me actually...

NJ has stricter environmental laws and disposal laws not to mention real estate and business taxes that make running something like a body shop way more expensive than it is say, here where I live. More overhead means they have to charge you more to make the profit they need to make.

I would assume that the bumper has to be painted, clear coated etc? Then the doors and hood will need to be blended?
