DANG. 
THE GOOD THING IS THAT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING ELSE YOU DONT WANT TO MESS WITH THAT 
I BUY AND FIX WRECKED CARS FOR A LIVING. I JUST GOT A SS/SC

Lets see. Bumper, fender, grill. Hood i think is ok. I thing the most expensive thing would be the painting 
cause they would have to everything that broke and the door i think got a deep scratch that needs repainting.
Maybe 3k.
Sorry again

Haz l33t wheelz.
in the 1st and 3rd pics you can see the hood has some dents in the middle, makes me think it's buckled a little.
Sorry to see this happen Emp, you had a lot of custom work done, and it would be a shame for them not to cover it all. Good luck, hope it doesn't take too long to fix.

Dude
I know how you feel. Except the wreck I just got into was my fault. I rear ended someone, but it was in heavy traffic and while i was looking back to check for the lane change everyone in front of me stopped. I hit the back of an old wrangler tank. I don't think I can show pictures but it was the driver's side of my car that had the damage. Through my incredible body shop it was about a $1500 job. New bumper, hood repair, and new (stock, not awesome) headlight and straightening out the metal bumper. He's right it is the paint job that's gonna be expensive, but be sure to ask for the extra paint that they don't use and you'll have it for touch ups and whatnot. The worst part about that fender (I ran into this when a big kid fell into my car and a truck door slammed into it in the same week) is that the front fender and rear quarter panel are connected by that strip running on the edge of the roof, so it's harder to fix. Anyway man I'm glad you're OK and I'm sorry that happened to you.

i was gonna, say, jeez man, the car is damaged, not wasted.
any new-ish news emp? has the insurance gotten a quote or anything yet?
i had a quote 2 days after my accident and it was in the body shop the next morning.

lol its all good. actually i didnt think about the rims in any way shape or forum until much after the wreck (same day but you know what i mean) first thing i thought when it happened was "****" but after that i got out looked at the damage was pissed about the headlight then went to check out things on the other lady

Guy have you not got your car back yet?
I have done much damage to some of my cars, like $10,000 to a civc and with the same car got T-boned by some lady doing 60kms. The car looked like it was off the the wreckers but they fixed it both times and it never took anywhere close to 6 weeks to fix. Longest they had it was 3 weeks .
Although Insurance is goverment run here so they speed the whole ordeal up, but I would start talking to your insurance rep and see whats up, or just go down to the dealership and check the progress cuz there dragging there ass on this (IMO)
