On Friday night an Acura crossed my path and I hit him straight on. I was able to slow down enough so there was no radiator damage so just the front bumper and the right fender. The Acura was at fault and got a ticket.

My insurance company, Progressive, is telling me I can get the body work done at any body shop of my choosing, at the dealership, or I can take it to their service center and they guarantee the work for life (not at the shop, anywhere even if I move they'll fix any problems at another shop, etc).

What do you guys recommend? Also, since I need a new bumper I was thinking of paying the difference for the Nismo front bumper. What do you guys think? Would it be best to get the stock bumper and then get the Nismo one myself in case I ever want to revert back (like when selling in a few years)?
