I didnt get to enjoy it just yet as it turned out.
3 weeks and counting
Spoiler!
I discovered the wheels/tires combo rubs on both end (when turn) on the modified 135i stock fender liner
I needed the 1M almost 500$ fender liner (there goes the intercooler i was planning on getting.lol)
I was able to snag the half of the fender liner at BJ bmw
The other half are are none stock on all the bmw dealers in north america and needed to be ordered from germany 2-3 weeks wait time
And for an extra kick in the nads my order which should have arrived last week was shipped to halifax
Hey atleast its in canada now (thats what i tell my self to feel better.haha)
But it doesnt mean i cant drive it around the block.lol
The first quotation for the NSX came to $69,400HKD ($8900USD). Replacing the fender, hood, bumper and headlight / hdlight assembly. Ouch.
@Dinfung - would you say the prices for your repair are similiar?
The bodyshop guy is going to come with me to the terminal today to check for frame damage and reply me lead time for parts from Japan. If there's frame damage or too long of a wait for parts, I'll let her go.
The quote you got is very reasonable. I basically got all the same part replaced plus front subframe, a bunch of suspension parts, 2 wheels refinish, the whole passenger side painted (I end up paying extra 2.2k, to have the full nsx painted) ICBC Claim so far is 3xxxxCND.

is this for new or used parts? because this was not a motor vehicle accident, will it still show up as accident history?

@dinfung: Thanks! You're right about very reasonable... Because they actually did not include the front bumper price in there, only quoted me repaint. Front bumper adding another 2400USD to the bill. Good luck to you and the NSX, buddy, know how that feels now =(
@thumper: 'New' parts I'm told. I'm not actually sure meaning if they are stockedin Japan still or just new unused sitting somewhere. And yes, I'm told that this will not be in accident history, since it was not a motor vehicle accident and there are no plates on the car and it was not on public roads. The guy importing the car for me, told me that incidents like this are NOT uncommon. Perhaps there are a handful of incidents every year, but usually is damaged on the way, in the container, shipping, off the freighter etc. My case is rarer in that the car was off the freighter and was damaged at the terminal by a terminal worker.
So yeah. You can probably assume that some damage to imported cars are not reported... So my advice I suppose, is make sure you check the schedules of when you car arrives, etcetc (If it's taking longer than usual... yeah). Also make sure you check the car thoroughly.
@jackp0t: Thanks! And your car is hot.
Anyways back on topic. No NSX for now means i'm chilling in the family car. Need to unwind after this mess :P
And holy shit look how small the nsx is next to my boat.

jackp0t - are those liners plastic? if it's not fouling by much maybe try heating and bending the stock ones to clear.
Yup plastic but with the new fender/bumper increasing the width by 2-3 inches i actually modded it by adding a piece to fill the gap but failed to make the diameter bigger
(If you notice the 1m wheel well is bigger
The stock wheels i believe are 19")
