Did you post picture? Maybe its my office computer, I cannot see if you did post pictures.
Get used parts (tried to get same color as your car) and get your mechanic to slap it on, if you don't want to do this or the damage is too severe to do this yourself.
If you willing to try and get your hands dirty, and the damage does not look too bad, I recommend you try this out yourself. Its fun and rewarding
I had a minor parking lot fender bender.
Bought a used fender, repaint it myself (color matched - not the best job, but does the trick)
Bought new Honda OEM fender stay, bumper upper beam, and some bolts.
Spend a day and a few beers, did all the work myself on the driveway. Total cost: $250 (fender) + $100 (paint and clear) + $100 (stay and beam) = $450 + 10 hours of labour (myself).
I could've had my mechanic to slap it on for $120 (roughly 2 hrs labour).
Or I could've had a bodyshop do everything for $800 (using a used fender if they can find one) or $1200 (using a new fender - they order from honda).
