Think of this as good thing. Now you will have a newly painted BLACK bumper along with a new headlight and fog light. Assuming both of you have insurance.

wow! that does suck...it doesn't look too bad tho. any structural damage, if not you're in luck! Possibly a bent tab for your fogs? easy fix too, heat it up with a heat gun, and apply lite, very lite pressure while it's still hot to re-shape it. notice I said very lite pressure-good luck

yep, smart move...it's a good thing you have a buddy that works at the body shop who is a SC fan (full fresh coat and debadged) very nice...while you're at, see if you can get him to give your front the 3M clear for the front. It will help against rock chips, etc
