Looking at the pictures below, probably some of you could advise me about the best way to get it fixed. Also, NJ Zers: does anyone of you know a good body shop around here?

Here are the 2 options that I have in front of me

Option (1): Get new parts (from Courtesy?). One of the auto body shop guys that I talked to said that all he would need is a new rear bumper, the inside reinforcement bar, rear center panel and the dark red strip on the hatch, total of which would come to around $900. And labor would cost ,me another $900. He also mentioned the fact that it is gonna be very difficult to remove the dents completely in the hatch (w/o harming the glass).

Option (2): I managed to find a junkyard which is giving me the rear bumper ($350), center panel($100) and the entire hatch ($350) for a total of $800. I guess there would be a reduction of labor cost but at the same time I would have to pay for painting the hatch and bumper.

So what do you think is a better option?
As always, thanks in advance for your advice.
