Car has been in the shop for 73 days..

OP, I know you're getting tired of hearing it, but your damage isn't that bad. I've administered countless repairs and I can say with confidence that this was roughly a 30 day job. My FRS has been hit too, so I get that it sucks, but the rear clip of this car is extremely simple when it comes to collision repairs. List price on the quarter panel is approx $630. The most labor intensive part of the repair is replacing that quarter panel, and that shouldn't take more than 20 hours. Your bumper may be salvaged, if not list is approx $320. Your trunk will be salvaged, and if your taillight needs replacing, that's around $270. Add suspension and drivetrain components and damaged wheel/tire (which are all relatively inexpensive) plus around $1-1.5k miscellaneous parts, plus frame and paint labor. It's not as bad as you think.
