I'm back with a bad news!
not bad at all, but always a pain to deal with insurance. some shops can actually fix this without bumper removal but I would do a full bumper respray.
longo lexus actually has a decent body shop, and they service the dealership so you know they can match well!

Well here's the update:
I tried making a deal for a 17 RCF and dealer will only go down 13K, which is weak to me. Plus I'm still too deep underwater on the RC so I'll have to hold on to it for a while.
RC is in the shop getting fixed, the bumper will come off and heat treated to remove the dent and it will be resprayed and it should be done in about 4 days, so we'll see how it looks. I took it to a Benz certified body shop which also works on Lexus. The guy said this is an easy fix and will be back to a like new condition.
Hey I don't mind going back to a GS F, I kinda miss the GS platform actually.

The shop estimated it at $1K but said it'll probably be less and the shop is partnered with my insurance company.

My insurance company is still investigating the other party but they told me if I want to get it fixed now I can, I just need to pay for the deductible first and they will pay for the rest and will be refunded later if they work it out with the other party's insurance. If they don't have insurance I'll probably be out $500 deductible or they advised me to file a small claims court to get that $500 back. I'm just hoping for the best cause I can't stand looking at my brand new car broken like this.
