Angry Rock Chips on the Highway

Damn IDOT truck kicked up a hole bunch of rocks onto the highway and left me and several other cars with this. Like an idiot, I didn't take down the plate number because it didn't semm that bad, until I got home and saw the front end. The Windshield has numerous very small chips in it, and the plastic grill is damaged. My radiator and Oil Cooler also have some small rockets embedded in em'. My body shop says they'll need to paint the whole front end and the roof if all the chips are going to be fixed. What do you guys think?

The pictures are taken with a BlackBerry, so please mind the quality. By the way, I'm waiting to get an estimate from the insurance company so this won't be out of my pocket except for a $250 Deductible.

Oh Yea forgot something, yes that is a clear bra on the front of the car. At highway speeds it did not protect the car from the rocks.....they went through the plastic and chipped the paint in two spots. These rocks were not very large either, considering the sounds when they hit the car were very light.
