got hit in rear, Advice needed
Pass side rear bumper deformed & about a 1/4" off of body to that side. What parts do I need to fix. Do I need to replace the absorbers as they did thier job well. Flex bumpers any good? Also paint will be an issue. Orange color is not original and a few body shops said it will not look 100%.

The insurance company will not likely pay for the entire car being painted. However, I would let the insurance company adjuster know in advance that you will demand a pefect color match etc. That may make it easier to use a Vette shop they charges a higher rate. Let the body shop know the same thing. So if you don't like the job they will do it until they get it right.

That would mean fiberglass repair needed as well.
