Joe - I agree with Fixit. It looks minor and if there is no frame damage or anything mechanical there is no need to replace the front clip or take the motor out - that is totally unecessary.
I saw an SPF with almost identical damage as yours at House of Cobras. It was the one built by HOC for RentaVette in Las Vegas. They did the same thing as you. I saw it before it went to the body shop and after - you could never tell the difference. It was perfect, and I have a very very discerning eye. If I remember correctly the bill was like 6 or 7k. That is not doing a half ass job either - anyone telling you they NEED to pull the motor and it's gonna be 20k is looking to rip your insurance off. I would give Dean at House of Cobras a call and pick his brain. He has been working on these cars for a very long time and really knows his stuff.
But working on these cars takes time. I would plan on a full month from the time you drop it off to the time you pick it up.
