Any suggestions?

I was having some people over for a little gathering on Saturday. My friend's wife parks their mini van in front of our house but facing the wrong direction. (this is the story I'm told)
My friend tells her to turn the van around and park the right way. She pulls into our driveway to back out and turn the van around. She "thinks" she puts the van in reverse and hits the gas, she hits the drivers side rear of my car so hard she pushed it about a foot to within an inch of the garage door. My friend is than screaming at her asking her what she is doing, in a panic she throws the van in reverse (successful this time) and hits the gas again. This time she hits the passenger rear bumper of my wife's Navigator. She caused over $800 worth of damage on my car and only scuffed the Navigator. I asked my friend why he let her drive as she just hit a parked car a few months ago in a huge parking lot that only had 3 cars in it.
My question is, does anyone have any suggestion on a possible upgrade for this amount of money? I saw some M5 bumper and side skirt kits out there for about $700, but I am unsure of the quality. Or should I just get the car fixed?
Thanks in advance!

I would get mtech rear and mtech sides from Trinity Autosports. I am in the same boat but I was hit and run and am waiting for adjuster to come look. Most likely your looking at spending around $1300 for paint and installation so I suggest buying the mtech front and getting everything done
