sheet metal - i had already (is about $10 a roll at a auto part store)
bondo - $20
sand paper - $3-4
primer - $10
matched paint $18
clearcoat - $10

luckly i have a angle grinder and mig welder which made it way easier. you can use low grit sand paper instead of a angle grinder, and a rivet gun instead of a welder. rivet gun is about $20. so it cost me about $65 and took maybe 10 hours? not exactly sure. BTW i did both sides of the car even though i didnt put pictures up, so just to clarify it was $65 for both sides.

*edit - make sure you get acrylic enamel paint & clearcoat. i accedentaly used lacquer clearcoat and apparently gasoline eats right through it so i have to respray clearcoat sometime this week

Nice work. On the "pulling the bumper out" question, you might have laid too much bondo down. You may have to sand it to match, then repaint.
