Angry 2014 370z car accident... with a pickup truck

So long story short ended up rubbing up against a super old ford pick up truck on my passenger side, probably only going like 5mph as i was turning right onto a intersection... and my 370 ended up hitting the back of his car

His car literally had no damages besides a light broken and its super old so he could care less, but those cars are like pure metal so it did a number on my car

After waiting 2 hours for the police to come and them not showing up...started getting tired of waiting & double thinking things, and ended up not filing a police report / because I assumed if I filed the police report & then filed a claim through state farm me being relatively young (24), my rates would sky rocket and I'd end up paying more money in the long run.

And of course the timing is horrible, because were suppose to get a blizzard in NY this weekend so I probably wont be able to take this car out of my garage for the next couple days to even find out how much it costs for a body shop to repair it

So could really use some advice and some guidance, the main issues seem to be the bottom panel of the door is dented (functions fine still, looks to be just exterior damage) and the panel to the side of the door that covers the rim is dented in a bit. So could they just replace the door exterior panel or would they have to replace the entire door? And I guess the only other thing they would have to fix would be the side panel (not sure what the piece next to the door is called) thats also dented, which I imagine could also be easily replaced with a new one right? And then of course theirs panting these two parts, which is what I'm most scared about hopefully they would be able to do a really good job with that without raping me on the price. Was also even considering getting the car fully vinyl wrapped with a cool updated design or something instead of painted after they fix the dents and stuff, but starting to think thats probably not the best idea

How much do you guys think this will end up costing me, and any advice? Oh and the only other damage is the side mirror, its still intact but it seems to have gotten knocked out of place as it now rotates 360, but thats the least of my problems right now
