It will not take a "huge" hit in resale value. Huge hits come from real extensive damage. There will be virtually no difference in value from that repair.
Get it repaired properly. A slapped on touch up job will indeed drop the value more than a proper repair. If you plan on keeping it 8 to 10 years the damage won't mean a thing for resale anyway.
It is a car that is on the streets with other cars. Shit happens.

Hey Tcoat
It's been a long time.
Thanks for the post, that makes me feel much better for the whole incident.
I'm enjoying my BRZ immensely. One of my best life purchases yet. If ever money can be converted to smiles it's this..
I dismissed the UEL header for now cause I want the headache free warranty. Until that's run out, I'll then consider an UEL header. Will also be a fun change to the car 3 years down the line.
