depends on the mileage of the car but since its a 10 year old car it may be totaled by the insurance.
A reputable shop would charge easily $4-5K to repair based on insurance estimates

That doesn't even include anything that CAN'T BE SEEN BY THE NAKE EYE.

Looks like the support pulled the frame ends in a bit, i may be wrong.
If so, you're looking at a lot more that what stated to straighten the frame out.
Hope you had insurance.

I had an accident very similar and the insurance company totaled it. I end up buying it back and going to try and repair and keep as a second car. I have a similar parts list to the one above, excluding the paint and came up with a ballpark of ~ $1,000 for parts.
Most mechanical parts are in working order, and the majority of the job is getting it cosmetically right. Check if the main frame rails are still straight, and it seems the rest are just parts that can be replaced. I called around different body shops, and was getting quotes of anywhere between 1-2,000 for labor. I've decided to do the work myself. I am on DAY 2 now with all body panels removed. The hardest part I'm dealing with right now is drilling and welding in a new core support and getting the body panels to line up correctly.

You should atrip your car of the front end teewhy and have the shop just replace your support for a few hundred $$ if you're not experienced in it. If you weld it in a fraction off, the front won't line up.

I was thinking lightly tack weld and test, make adjustment if needed before fully welding. But, the few shops i called want at least a grand to do this core support cut & weld and fit the body panels i provide. I'd love to pay someone a few hundred to get it done, but cant find a reasonable price in orange county. I need to call around more.

Bring it to the hi desert. I had my core support on my integra removed, new one welded for about $380. New support included. I cant remember if i took them the new panels to test fit or not, but it came out great.
