I figure if the other guys insurance company doesn't pay for this, I may just end up paying out of pocket, as I doubt this will be much over $500.
As a side note, anyone know if that bottom carbon fiber piece can be fixed or will have to be replaced? The dent in it doesn't appear to be too big.

Don't assume that the only issue is skin damage.
Several years ago, someone backed out of a parking spot and into the back bumper of my parked BMW 1-series. My wife and happened to be walking back to my car when we saw it happen. It was a low impact bump. There was no damage to the rear bumper - the paint was perfect where it had been backed into, but I noticed a slight outward bump in the area. I took the other drivers info and took the 1er to the BMW dealership for a check-out and apparently the rebar behind the bumper had been damaged and had to be replaced. Cost was over $900 (covered in cash by the other driver).
Have the dealer or a body shop check it out.
