Got rear ended this morning by an M3 and need a new rear bumper

Hey guys,
Not a very fun commute on the way to work this morning... I was stopped at a light waiting for a pedestrian to cross and got rear ended about 10/15 mph by an M3. His car took 90% of the damage but I'm definitely going to need a new rear bumper.

Where is a trusted source for a charge speed rear bumper? I've seen horrible fitment from some places so just want to get your opinions on where I should go. Also should I go with a charge speed or go a different route, what are your opinions? Thanks!

G35:1 M3:0

(the picture doesn't really show the damage, it's not much but cracked all the way through the bumper and a bunch of hairline fractures through the whole thing. Definitely going to need to be replaced. The M3 the whole bumper is cracked, fender scratched, and headlight pushed into the hood.... a LOT more damage than i got

Here's the front of my car... thinking a chargespeed would compliment the sideskirts well. I'm going for the clean/smooth look

At the last second he saw me stopped and pulled to the right to avoid me. Apparently he has a Lamborghini too... He should let me drive that instead of a rental car while my car is in the shop

Dude, seriously you should be glad you got hit by an M3/lambo owner who obviously has insurance rather than some no-insurance-having punk.

Consider yourself the lucky one at least. His car is going to be very expensive to fix in comparison!

Yes at least you have a chance to get fixed. Gladhe didn't try and take off on you.

I'd be looking at R1 at this point... Not sure who else on the forum we can trust.

Thanks, already asked R1 about pricing and they seemed right in line with everywhere else. I think ill be using them. Thanks guys! I haven't heard back from insurance yet but it's blatently obvious it's 100% his fault so that's good. I'm not too worried about my car because i think it's just the rear bumper. Only issue is now my neck and back are starting to hurt more this blows
