Fair price for rear fascia replacement?

[Bounty Hunter 6]

I had someone run into the back of my Vette last night, luckily they will pay whatever it costs to get it fixed plus rental car, etc......so anyway!

I got an estimate from a shop I think is good, and they want $1,082 for the entire thing; that's for a brand new OEM rear fascia, plus the installation and painting. They also have paint-tint capability to ensure a match on the color. Anyone have a similar experience or know if this is reasonable?

Thanks!
Glen

You may want to search this forum for others who have had this problem. I remember seeing someone discovering it was much more expensive because the crash structure under the rear fascia needed to be repaired and it isn't an easy job. Make sure they pull the rear cover off before settling on a final $ amount with the party that hit your baby.
