Got the Estimate back...
I took my car in for State Farm (her ins co.) look at the damage she did to my fender. Apparently, the guy came up with a whopping $1,602 estimate. I have a feeling I will be fighting them tooth and nail unless I just have my insurance take care of it which I may do.

Agree, let your insurance agent handle this. They should be able to get with the other company and work it out. You should not be out anything for this.
Too bad, such a pretty color.... I'm bias though.

Always let your insurance company take care of it ... they will get it fixed right, with no short cuts (normally) and then go after the person's company for the cost. The other persons insurance will always look for the cheapest way out ...

Based on repairs I have had on my own cars, I think 1,600 seems reasonable.
Since it was in no way your fault, I would suggest you have your insurance company fight for you.
Good luck.
