Default car was hit today, driver took off

long story short, as i was making a right on a green light from the right turn lane some jackass in the center (straight through lane) decide to turn right as well...nailing me in the left front. brunt of the collision was directly to the wheel but once it snapped straight it also took out my fender. he was driving an older nissan pickup and proceeded start to pull over and then off he went. car drives but the steering rack/suspension took a hard hit. wheel is now off center by a good 30 degrees, seems very twitchy driving it, i fear there's a few bent/trashed parts underneath.

meeting with my adjuster tomorrow and then i need a shop to assess everything. i'd prefer it to go to a honda dealership but being new to the area don't know how good the honda shops are around here or if there's a better place?

also, how difficult is it going to be to shoot a new fender spa yellow? i'm thinking they are going to need to blend this well into the rest of the car so it's not blatantly obvious when in the sun.

thanks!

If you are going to match the paint thats already there, you'll need to get a paint shop to shoot a sample of your paint or it won't match. don't shoot the paint code cause it won't match.
