Default Almost got side swiped and hit a curb // need parts and help please

So I was driving on Saturday night and this dark colored Silverado/ Sierra (not sure which it happed pretty quick but has a distinctive sticker on the bumper that I remember) didnt see me and changed lanes quickly. I swerved and hit a curb in the middle of kuykendall road which I have no idea why its there?! Anyhow tore up some parts shown below and scratched up my just painted front bumper cover on the drivers side. Im pretty upset about it and I cant wait to run into the guy again because he kept driving when I obviously had a collision because of him.

It looks like I need the inner fender plastic pieces, the duct that shoots air to my brakes, the left side of the 3 piece air dam and a bunch of those little push pins. Seeing if any of you guys or performance shops had any spare parts laying around that I could have or buy cheaply as Im unemployed at the moment and tight on funds.

Anyhow heres the pics, please let me know if anyone has some of this stuff. It would be greatly appreciated and if you needed help at your shop for a day or anything else I could do as payment, Id be glad to help out.

Karen will hook you up! I looked but don't have any C6 pieces when I thought I did. I'm sure we have the 7mm screws laying around if Karen doesn't have enough of 'em.

No nuts, I'm allergic! I just want the melt in your mouth chocolaty goodness.

Big thanks to Chris and Karen for the great deal on parts! I now know where to take my C6 if I ever need body work again, knock on wood.... They must have had 15 Corvettes up there and some other nice cars. Saw the paint on a C6 vert with a ZR1 conversion and the paint was flawless and they even painted ghost type flames on it. Sick!
