im in a similar situation, cept im draggin my feet to fix mine lol

make sure you file a police report of the incident, you should have done that from the start.

you can file a police report without taking any action, but the police report solves the your word against mine issue

if he doesnt pay, then pursue further action, but i would take the car to the shop that did your work, get an estimate, then take it to 2 other places and get estimates as well.

try to take it to a nicer place, so they high ball it, and take it to a less expensive place, so they low ball it

then tell him you want the work done at the original place (middle priced estimate) and that if he cannot abide by your wishes you will take legal action until he does.

the friendship thing ends when he starts to walk over you... dont forget he is in the wrong by hitting your car, and it is his responsibility as a friend to make it right for you. you shouldnt have to do anything more than facilitate his efforts.

if he strays from that... approach the situation just like it was some snobby ass rich kid.

if you need any help, im not an hour south of you and have some body work friends who im sure could meet and exceed your expectations (as well as get some spacers for them rear wheels so your car sits aggressive enough to match that c-one front )
