They’re not a budget outfit, so prepare to open your wallet.
As I’ve said before, buy once, cry once as the saying goes.
Yes ive actually contacted them ..

I put the post up for the new front panel to show you what is available. It will save you on panel beater labor costs at $100+ per hour.
I have a top class repairer up here that will pull all your dents , save as much original metal as possible. Hand form panels etc . I had just my front nose done and it cost $5k.
Once the paint is on you could not tell the quality of the work. Nearly all panels shops will just replace panels with new ones.
Should not take them more then 2/3 days too remove and replace your old one and swap it over depending on how bad the inner strengthener Panel an A pillars bases are.
Also look around a different parts suppliers. prices do vary and they do have specials some time..
Just campers have a better price , saving $200.

Youll need one of these parts as well id say.. inner panel strengtheners and left and right A pillars.
