Honestly i'd view it as a reason to upgrade the oil coolers, switch to a v-mount, replace the rebar and get a new front bumper, get a new hood. All of which, if bought second hand, wouldn't be more than $1500.00 on the high end. Even cheaper if you are bargain hunting. OEM hoods and front ends go for $300-$400 for the both from people parting out cars. OEM intercoolers and what not, people let go for $100 that are either upgrading or going LSx.
don't let this slight fender bender from a "friend" ruin what you feel, is your car. It's hard to get a connection with a car, so once you do. . . work to keep it. i've owned several cars, only ever felt connected to 2.
