Unhappy My car got hit

So this morning my brother tagged my car leaving the driveway. He was late for work, it was still dark out, and my car is black. Anyways, he backed his 94 Integra GS-R into my front bumper pretty fast. Loud enough to wake my parents up. Anyways, upon first examination it you can't really tell it was hit. But when you really look at it, you can see the bumper got pushed back a tad, and its a little higher than the front of the hoodline. Also the gap between the sides of the bumper and the two front quarter panels is gone. My hood doesn't quite pop right, but it still works. Also the seal around the windshield, the part that is parellel to the passenger side a-pillar is slighlty bent and cracked at the bottom. Also a little plastic piece on the inside of my car, that goes between the 2 defrost vents up by the base of the windshield broke off. Unbelievably the bumper isn't dented, my surn signal and FTP lenses aren't cracked. My lights still pop up fine. I think moisture is getting into my car though, cause I couldn't defrog my car very well on the way to work this morning with the defrost on full. I hope there is no frame damage or anything. He must have hit it pretty hard to mess up the seal on the windshield, and to break off a piece of plastic on the interior of my car. Anybody have any idea on what to do? How much would it cost to have my bumper realigned? Sounds spendy to me. !@#$$

this is why people should not remove that crush resistent material behind the bumper. If you had removed it, your bumper would be a mess.

Yeah, seriously, the bumper doesn't even have a scratch or dent. It just got pushed back maybe a couple of millimeters, and got pushed 1-2mm. Anybody have any experience with body work, or pulling a bumper back? Any ideas on cost?

Integras owners must suck at driving because a little girl in a GSR backed into my old Turbo II a couple years ago. It got dented a little but their were huge white marks on it . I was about to just yell at her but then I saw she was hot Well, instead of going I just made her pay for it.
