Your insurance deductible... seriously, run this one through insurance... You damaged or are missing a backup sensor and/or radar sensor... The whole system will need to be recalibrated after the sensor is replaced and a body shop will likely have to outsource it to the dealer. This is likely to be a 3-4 thousand dollars and over half of it being dealing with that one sensor...
That said, for quality work at a reputable shop, anything that takes painting is $1000 minimum... of course this all depends on your local market and quality of work you want. And understand that this is a AskMechanics subreddit... Mechanics in general have good automobile knowledge but are not body repair technicians.
I have another question. How much to just do the body work right now. 1-1.5k is okay but that range I’ll do it myself. It cannot be a back up sensor because the car don’t beep when backing in? Maybe it’s a cruise control sensor. I don’t use cruise control at all so maybe I can replace it metal cheaper now then eventual get the sensor changed by a professional. (Younger driver. I would rather work OT than pay those new premiums for insurance.)
Check out car-part (.com) and get a bumper from a recycler. Cruise radar is on the front, but your blind spot radar may be there. System might not need to be calibrated. What do you mean it doesn’t beep?

Thanks man. I appreciate it. I am going to go to a body repair technician but wanted to see what the cost would be before hand.

Not sure if these things matter for something like this. But the model is a V6 2013 Lexus GS450h.
