Unhappy Nismo Bumper and Tail Light Damage

Well... This was a thread I never wanted to start...

My brother backed his car into my Nismo (I guess it's called Magnetic Black for a reason...).

The passenger side tail light is cracked (badly), and directly beneath it the number is lightly dented with a "strom" of deep scratches (no way to buff out).

Does anyone have experience with these issues? I could really use some advice.

I want it fixed - I don't even want to think about getting Gieco involved........ So I would cover it myself.

Looking online I found an OEM Taillight for $270 (without shipping). So that's easy... But then there is the bumper.

Should I take it to Nissan?

I live in South Florida - so if anyone has any recommendations they would mean the world.

Thanks guys.

You should be able to find a tail light for less

I'll post picture soon ... Just not something I'm excited about at the moment. :-(

My brother is about to go to college and doesn't have a dime ... so he's not paying for it yet.

I've been looking pretty hard for a Rear Tail Light for cheaper then $260 - but haven't had any luck.

... I'll have pictures up soon ...
