So, I spun and hit the guard rail.

Person from Geico estimated the damage today as $5500 worth. They put the cost of front bumper as $2500. Is our stock bumper that expensive? That's more than an RS front bumper. How is that happened? Also, anyone know a part number of RS nose? I think I'm just gonna ask the body shop (wagonwerks, the best in this region) to order the RS nose and pay the difference (even though I think RS bumper is cheaper).
I'm even thinking of ordering parts myself, paint somewhere else and install them myself because it's just front bumper, right headlight and fender. No other parts is even touched. Do you guys think it's a good idea? As you know, body shop is going to out down 4 hours to take a bumper off and so on.
Picture of the damage during daytime. Took it at the track before the coolant issue.

RS upgrade sounds like a good idea (read posts on this re tilting the radiator, ducting, etc), but I'd let the body shop handle the work.
