Its already in the shop, took it in the same day. Just have to suck it up and pay the deductible($250) to have the INS fix it. There is no buffing, ****ty phone pics dont show the gouges nor the bent lip on the hood.

 

$250 isn't bad. After all that is why we pay for insurance, right .
I've always set mine to 500. Which is normally more than small dings and scratches. Though your damage does look to be a bit over 5 bills (mainly because of the hood comment).

 

someone did something similar to my old altima. Had a basketball and a half size dent in the rear 1/4 panel under the gas door

 

ugh..that sucks!
