So just in update:
This douchebag now claims I ran a fucking red light. There is no light near a mile from where I got hit. Geico is saying its his word against mine. I'm going to have to talk legal action it sounds like.

Cavender Cadillac downtown is excellent. Personally, I have no use for Ken Batchelor's organization. Attitude out there is like being in a BMW shop if you know what I mean.
You could also ask one of these body shops who would likely give a higher estimate. I have done that, and then gone back to the shop (to have the work done) where I started asking that question (when I was on the east coast).

Update:
Well its a freaking miracle. This turned into a big pain in the ass yesterday, since I did not get a police report its his word against mine. I heard from the insurance yesterday that he says I ran a red light, which does not exsist within a mile of where I got hit. So his insurance says as far as hes concerned the case was closed. Wasn't much I could do at that point. SO the option would be to go with mine and have them go after Geico AFTER paying my $750 deductable. And my rates would be high for the next 3 years, and I'd pay $800 in addition for those higher rates at LEAST. My insurance is already high enough. So I got to thinking, it might possibly buff out. Crazy enough the car did not get dented getting hit at 45!! Are these cars tanks or what! So I got home about an hour ago, and washed the car. With the help of my dad with rubbing compound, EVERY area that was scuffed came off. Its a miracle, he must of hit me with tire or his bumper. I still can't believe how it turned out.

So for the mirrors, I will be ordering m5 mirrors, I guess now that one is damaged its a excuse to get m5 mirrors. Not sure when I will have them, looks like I will be driving with a ghetto mirror in the meantime. Maybe the accident was a good thing, I've learned a couple of lessons. Never trust anyone, and always call police for future accidents.
