id say a little more than that... radiator support, radiator, and air pump...thats alot of money right there.
should be around $200 + shipping or less just for the bulkhead components that could have been bent / damaged near the spotwelds.

that would include the upper radiator mount, the vertical radiator support frame bar, and the lower radiator support beam.

I would definitely used your insurance for the repairs to your car. The only proper way to diagnose the damage to your vehicle is to have a proper tear down at a body shop to see all the damages to your vehicle. On this car, the radiator support consists of a upper tie bar and a lower tie bar, plus a center support. I'm assuming that the center support is also bent, and if that is bent, there is also a chance that the upper tie bar is damaged as well. Don't cheap out on the repairs, use the insurance and learn from this mistake.

The field auto adjuster, if they know what they are doing, would also place time to have the car be placed on a frame rack to check the measurements for piece of mind, and definitely a four wheel alignment to make sure that nothing is bent.

Not yet, haven't had time to tear it down yet, especially since I don't really have anywhere to work on the car at my apartment complex. I'm taking it in for an estimate tomorrow at a good shop nearby, so I'll see what they say.

As far as a front bumper, I think I'm going to just get an AP2 bumper and undertray for now. If anybody has a good condition silverstone AP2 bumper for sale, please PM me.

Thanks for the kind words guys... it's a pretty horrible feeling to see my car like this, although as you all said, it could be much worse.
