I need a new trunk lid, and it has to be painted and installed. $830 is the estiamte the insurance company has given me so far, do you think that will be enough to cover the parts and labor?
Thanks.

Hell no! The paint alone is gonna be over a grand
The trunk lid will be a few hundred, and the labor will probably be $800 or so.
Consider this: To have the clearcoat replaced on one of my quarter panels, the estimate was "$700 if everything goes right."

No way will that be enough money.
Are they requesting aftermarket parts? Did they approve money to blend the paint? Was the estimate through your insurance company? If you go to a recommended shop, they have to guarantee the work to your satisfaction. If you want to drive to get some estimates, there is a place in Watertown off of Arsenal St. Go past Best Buy and Autozone and then take a right at the next light. There is a reputable body shop of your left. Boston Body Works in Allston does some good work too.
Looks like your parked near the Plex and Alumni Stadium. I've seen your car before.
Good luck.
