Thanks guys. Not too bad but the radiator exploded so it's not driving anytime soon. It could have been a lot worse. I was pushed into a IPass toll booth but managed to not hit the walls. Could have hit the unmovable concrete barrier head on so I'm thankful for that.

Man, that stinks, but glad to hear you are not injured. Like, Dennis C said, doesn't look too bad.

You read my mine. They are doing the estimate now and they will call me when it's all done and talk about putting the Aero kit on and what it will cost me. I'm assuming not much more than stock.

Those few sratches will buff right out.
Sorry to hear of your trouble mate. Only kiddin around there. There may be some unseen structual damage. Get the right firm to check it all over.

My advice is to always focus on getting the car repaired as good as humanly possible, getting the car back to its pre-collision condition.
Save the aero kit/bumper upgrades for later.
Document the repairs... snap pics of the primered factory parts and so on so when (if) you go to sell it you can show the damage was not severe and the repair was done right.

$5K seems low. New front bumper cover, radiator and A/C condenser, hardware, front fender, resetting the headlight position (a real ***** job I hear), paint to match... $5K seems low. (My 02 Boxster needed just a front and rear bumper cover and a headlight and taillight and the repairs came to $5K.)

$5K
Repair bill will probably be more like $9k!!
