This decision stressed me out too .. When I rear-ended somebody with my Boxster, I was pretty nervous about getting it repaired. Whatever you do, don't settle for less than 100% satisfaction. There were a couple small bubbles in my hood after that and when I went to send it back in and have them redo it, the body shop gave me a sob story blah blah -- it's their job to make that thing look awesome again .... Oh -- also, you might want to look into getting reimbursed by your insurance company for "diminished value". SInce you aren't at fault, that's a possibility (consider if you were to sell your car, now it's worth less because it's been in an accident, even if they do a PERFECT job fixing/repaiting it).
