Sounds about right unfortunately. Good thing there's insurance

Did you request Lexus OEM parts?

Most of the parts are going to be OEM, including the exhaust. From the estimate looks like the bumper and bumper absorber are going to be "re-manufactured". Lexus repair said they would paint match to make is look as if it was the original.

re-manufactured bumpers is better than aftermarket. generally its a bumper that had a scuff or ding or dent from a totaled car and they just fix it and prime it and resell. Cheaper than brand new of course. Being a newer car paint usually is pretty dead on if you paint a bumper unless its a tri-coat paint.. (base with a mid or a pearl coat.)

If its a tri-coat they would probably blend the mid coat or pearl coat with the quarter panels. Just my guess.

Glad you are fine... I am sure you will fix and it will look like new again.
