The rear bumper is indented and pushed out of position and the left tail light assembly is cracked. Aside from going to a reputable body shop, which I am going to, is there any way to verify I have genuine OEM Nissan parts?

Also, what is behind the rear bumper on the lefthand side? Anything I should be particularly worried about (i.e., check for damage)?
