And have it looked at by a few providers. One always finds something the other guy missed.

I have a silver hood from a 2003 and that bumper cover almost looks like it could be buffed out. I say pocket the $$ and come see me again. I'll have you back on the road for $150.

Since it was a parking lot speed hit it sure looks like the damage would be limited to the bumper and hood/latch.
If it was me I'd get a couple estimates and then settle with insurance for the cash and you will have enough to pay for a nice new upgraded bumper, a new hood and a paint job for it all to match.
I'd also replace the hood latch components unless they remarkably remained undamaged somehow.
Don't forget to haggle for the "lost Value" since once an exotic car has an accident on its record it takes an extra loss in value no matter how well its fixed.
For a 986 I figure its a $1000 -$2000 hit.

Yesterday some sick mother f*#*er side-swiped my box in Colorado Springs and left no note. I'd love five minutes alone with that puke.
