Ouch!

Your color combination is really sweet.
Do you know what it's called?
Is that Antique Sage or Graphite Gray?

It looks worse than it probably actually is. Most of the damage seems to be the bumper and the side light. Cant tell about damage to the engine bay area, but I doubt that there is much or any damage there.

The hood and the fender should be easily repairable.

I feel your pain

Damn... did u tell insurance it feels like your neck is sore and you have lower back pain.... also that the accident smashed ur brand me mac book and your ipad and ipod touch were connected and your rent/mortage money(cash of course) flew out the window. Also your chain broke and your rings flew out tooo... bummer.... just playing. Insurance fraud is a serious crime.

True, although the upper rad support may be questionable since the hood is closed you can't see if it was shifted or crumpled at all...

Awaken you must be tramatized... even better makes you worry everytime you sleep... sounds like that would be an expensive fix..

i sure hope buddy paying for your damages. dont look too bad to me. at least its not salvaged, obviously very drivable, looks to me no visible frame, minor fix, so all u gotta do is replace bumper cover, corner, and figure out how to mount the hl back on to custom welded hl bracket, definitely not 4k to fix, i seen these cars sell for that price
i say about 200 for corner and bumper, plus custom paint cost ? if its not matched, less than 100 for custom welded bracket, so total about 500, and thats just for parts, so if u diy then X the labor cost

if u need replacement parts, then u can check at salvage yards, check online or locals

Are you on glue??? $500.00 for parts are you kidding me? Where are you shopping for parts - let me know because I would like to build a car for almost nothing.
