I recently had to have some repair work done to the front bumper cover
of my '99, due to some backing into me in the parking lot and not
leaving a note.  The total was about $1050, including:

$300 for the bumper cover (unpainted)
$225 for a replacement headlight
$125 for an aluminum mounting bracket
$150 for paint, painting materials, and painting labour
$100 for other installation labour
and some tax

Came out looking like new though!  (well, except that they screwed up
the alignment on the headlights).
