Take it to an independent shop (preferrably the dealership), and get a proper "as new" reapri estimate. You might even be able to talk the guys at the dealership and let them you which way you'd want it to go. To be honest, they're more likely to find enough stuff wrong to get the insurance company to total it, even for minor stuff.

This is a good suggestion, and another thing. I haven't read most of the posts here, but
DO NOT LET THEM REPLACE BODY PANELS WITH AFTERMARKET UNITS! Aftermarket body panels do not line up, nor are they the same quality as OEM panels. They aren't made to the same standards. The body lines don't have the same creases, they don't have the same rust inhibitors, and the panels are not as thick.
