As an fyi, not visible in the pics, the rear flare is held in place w/snap-clips. The flare itself is only slightly dented, but it popped out the clips, making the flare hang out (it looks better now, I put one clip back in). It looks like just two pieces need to be replaced, the flare and the rear plastic fender attachment piece (?).

Sent pics to a local repair shop, $482. Called the dealer they said about $500 for the flare and rear corner. I meet w/the guy after work today, he's giving me $500 + a written statement of his fault & liability. I told him that works for me, but I'll file a police report and insurance claim if he tries to screw me (I have 72 hrs for the police report and it's only required for >$1500 damage).

I'd prefer to not deal w/the insurance too (I HATE insurance companies), so as long as he's up front w/the written statement I'm ok (I have a notary friend, I might bring her along too). I can always come back to the insurance company later if he tries to screw me. We'll see if he comes through this afternoon as he says he will
