to the op, I think it will be about a $1500 job. Damage doesn't seem too bad.
But all I can say is that all body shop prices vary depending on location.

You can goto sewell.com to see how much a rear bumper cost. I know the front bumper is $330 and comes unpainted. You have to pick it up at Lexus. They won't ship it b/c of possible damage. There's not telling how much paint and labor will cost. I hope it all works out for ya....

I just went to 5 shops and got estimates. The lowest was $1500 with everything added up. I was hoping the bumper could be patched up with some mech witchcraft but it has to be replaced (no biggee, only $300). However that rear 1/4 panel was the real kicker. Not only does it have a massive dent that needs repair, it was also bent out of shape and doesn't line up with the rear bumper/trunk. Whatever, I was honestly afraid that it was going to be much more and I'm ok with 1500. I lucked out on the scratches though. Apparently the dealer gave me this combo pack insurance with the car for free and one of the insurances is scratch removal up to 6". Once the rest of the car is repaired I'm sending my car to the dealer for a free scratch removal.
