I'd have to agree that's reasonable. When my B got backed into, the
insurance company estimated $1500 for the bonnet, grille, grille brace,
bonnet latch, and one bumper guard -- that's with no paint -- just
assembly and a little bodywork to the left wing leading edge, about 2
inches worth. I think you're getting a lot for the money.
FWIW...

Runs great,
looks particularly bad since some SUV clown backed into it.
If you're near Mountain View, CA,
it's the red one with the silver bootlid.
