Once you do post repair calibrations and what not I would easily charge 2k for these repairs (in the body shop business).
Agreed. Any 'small' issue that has more than one body part involved is usually $2k.

To be more specific:

The shutter assembly was $740.52.
I also needed the lower molding because it cracked slightly on the bottom (I would have not replaced it but it was all getting claimed. It's in my basement now).
Body labor hours to replace and remove everything, including many, many, many clips and pins, totaled 5.3 hours. Then there is 2.4 hours of mechanical labor, including re-aligning the front camera (1 hour) and pre- and post-repair scans (0.7 hours each).

Mine was $1,984.63 including the lower molding for $706.40.

The shutter assembly is a very brittle part. It doesn't take any impact well. I took both parts, and at home removed the non-broken parts of my shutter assembly, then tossed the rest. If I break a shutter vane I might luck out.

They do remove and replace the bumper sensors.
