It is a hassle. Same thing happened to me. To save money, insurance companies will repair the bumper rather than replace. A replacement is much better. I worked with my shop to get a replacement when the insurance wanted to repair. The cost of the '12 bumper was similar to the cost of a '15 Nismo and that's what I did.
Looking at pic 2, is your hatch open? Looks like a big gap there. I am guessing that the 2k estimate was done after the take down and not just an exterior inspection. It seems like a low figure.
