Car got rear ended!

In my experience, the normal way things go with insurance and shops are usually the following:

Insurance tells you to get a quote from a body shop.
Body shop gives you quote
You give Insurance the quote
Insurance either pays you for the price of the quote, or you get it repaired by the bodyshop and they pay the bodyshop.

Assuming you have the same choices I did, it sounds like you may benefit from getting the payout and just getting the Nismo Bumper installed and painted. Now I don't know if you'll get enough for everything, so you may have some out-of-pocket costs.

The drawback is that you'll have to wait for them to pay you out. OR, if you know exactly how much you're getting from them, you can front the money first and get it fixed for your shoot. Good luck.
