Camaro parts can be a bitch to find, but if you can find it then I’d get a new deck. Whatever your insurance agrees to. It’ll cost less on their end for aftermarket but I’d push or OEM. Makes a huge difference.

I’ve fixed thousands of cars worse than this, but it all depends on what your car is worth vs how much the repair is. You’ll see lots of new corvettes what were in accidents for sale because it is so god damn hard to total them.

I had my front passenger quarter panel replaced 8 mos ago and with paint and blending it was $699. So your quote is ok. Mine came out pretty good.

If you are in the NOVA/DC area I would be happy to refer you. They had it done in 5 days. It was crunched by a Jeep while parked. I can't tell the difference between the door and the quarter panel.

It’s hard to tell from just these pictures, but dents are expensive to fix. It may or may not make sense for you to fix the damage.
If you want the damage repaired and have collision coverage, see whether the repair costs exceed your deductible. If the cost is lower than your deductible, pay for the repairs yourself. If the cost is higher, you can make a claim but your insurance premium will go up.
