I had the same thing happen to my car except i got rear ended and pushed into the car infront of me. I got two quotes and they were both $2,500+. The one that costed more was chargeing for misc stuff that really wasnt neccessary.

I just bought a CF hood and called it a day. My radiator support is bent back a bit and my latch is as well. The new hood takes a bit more pressure before it latches but it does.

New OEM headlight housing is about 60 bucks, you can save money and put that in yourself. New OEM hood is about 300. I have a hood for that car FS cheap if your in socal. The rest depends on how nice you want the paint job, I'd say about 500 bucks.

the core support is fairly easy to bend back out, it doesn't look like yours is beyond repair.
