Default I HATE SNOW To Fix or To Swap?

last night a block away from my home i slid off the road and into a street sign and im pretty pissed about the damage. the question im trying to decide is to pay the insurance increase and get a claim or to just just scrap my shell and move all the parts to another. i have chance to get a pretty sweet crx very clean with has a d15 in it but i could replace with my gsr motor thats in my eg. trying to decide on what to do so if anyone has any advice i'd love to hear it. heres the pics of the damage

That sucks, but the damage isn't that bad. Fix it yourself, it won't be too hard.

Holy hell, just from a road sign? Christ now I REALLY feel insecure driving my Honda around...but honestly I'd probably just get a body shop/that dent puller thing from TV (which works like a miracle) to pull out the dent. Swap the taillight out and attach the bumper again. Done deal.

Bring it to a body shop and pay out of pocket.

If the coupe is in good condition keep it and fix it, cant let a clean car go to the junkyard, or at least sell the shell some1 if you really wanna swap it.
