Made it less than a year w/o an accident :(
If you have good insurance (All State plug here..) you'll get whatever it takes to satisfy you (within reason). When I wrecked my camaro a while back, the body shop painted it a second time because the first time I noticed the paint on the door didn't match a panel that they didn't paint. I had even driven it for 2 days before taking it back. There were on issues with the insurance company paying for the second paint.
I recently had my front bumper replaced under insurance. I had no issues there either, but I didn't go for the extras because it wasn't someone else's fault (hit a racoon @ ~50mph on my way home from a bar
)
Quit whining, this gives the Z character.
Really it doesn't even look that bad, just some color sanding and repaint & you will be good as new. I can't believe you have the ***** to ask for a body kit. Guess it takes all kinds to make the insurance adjusters day.

Same situation happened to me....
Lady in a parking lot went past a row where she saw a spot, put it into reverse and backed up into me. She got out of the car and said, "Well, why'd you hit me?" I couldn't believe it. Luckily, I braked before the impact and the pebbles under my car showed that I was pushed back. When the cop came, she had nothing to say... CSI FTW!!!

So a few updates/responses:
1. I'm with Allstate. Filed the claim. $250 deductible will be worst case scenario. They're going to try to get reimbursement.
2. Yes, the car was keyed last year right when I got it. Not had the best luck you're right.
3. I'm pretty sure the bumper has to be replaced, there's literally a hole in it (look in the first pic). I only mentioned a kit because I figured it might be cheaper than a new OEM bumper.
4. prnstr40, you really have no idea about any of the details of the situation. I could go into detail to explain, but I'd rather not waste my time.

This makes me feel better because my biggest concern is the paint not matching.

When a person gets backed into, it is NOT their fault. EVER.
