Well, I got mine back today and my final number is $4,493.xx, not too far from my guess of $5k.. The major parts replaced were the bumper cover, rear crash bar, both taillights and the black trim panel with the chrome pony. The trunk was pulled out as was the right taillight well and the trunk lid had some minor repair done. Also the alignment of the convertible top was verified. And of course paint and clear coat. All new parts were used except for the taillights, they came from LKQ and are, frankly, in better condition than my old ones. All from a rear end collision by a 2020 Camero that failed to trigger her airbags.I was recently rear ended as well. About half the damage you have. Basically I need a bumpers cover, passenger tail light and black trim panel. Current estimate is $2900.00 but the trunk doesn't latch right so they're expecting hidden damage. Plus the convertible top "feels" like it is harder to latch than before though it's not leaking. I expect that my final number is going to be around $5k.
I'd expect yours to be more like $10-12k. Strictly a guess though...
Also, depending on your location, you may want to look into filling a claim for diminished value.
Now to file a claim for diminished value and see where that goes...
