Being that it's a Z06, and it looks like a fender and a bumper cover, with maybe a few brackets behind it, I'm positive that it won't be totaled. That's 2-3k worth of damage, tops. You'd need 15k worth of damage before they'd even think of totaling it.

IMO its going to be more then $2-3k worth of damage, but I also agree that the car is not going to be totalled...

My car got hit in a parking lot last summer. A few scratches where the front bumper/drivers side fender meet... $1500 job.
