Default Car got rear ended!

So driving to work this morning, woke up pretty refreshed, one of those slow mornings (which I love) i was listening to music and stopped to some traffic, and BAM out of nowhere I got REAR ended by another car, his windshield is cracked and bumper is ****** up,

my bumper comes out miraculously with some of the bumper itself shaved off (the pu plastic I think) and paint. It's down to the base so I can't just buff it out.

The BAD news. I snagged a photoshoot on June 1st with one of the guys from Varrstoen Khang, to rep their new line or version of wheels (not sure) the ES2 or ES9, and I was excited! since I got a message back from him yesterday.
Free or discounted wheels on my side, and I was excited, wheels and tires where next on my list!

Long story short, everything is coming out to be very ironic.

I'm not sure if I'll have enough time to get it fixed by then by the insurance, I got a claim and everything from the other party,
only thing is, I need to get an inspection done to get damages fixed.

It's not a matter of respraying since a bit of the bumper is cut off,

but do you think I can try and get the shop to try and get me a Nismo rear bumper?
most likely not huh? never been in a crash so I don't know what to expect.
Any tips? I'm located in SoCal if that helps

Thanks for listening on my rant!

Here's some pictures of my car a couple days ago and last night, prepping.







and the crash, the bumper itself was miraculously strong tbh, the guy flew at me.. i kind of feel bad for his car LOL..
mine felt like a tank
