Default minor accident

Okay guys, got into a bit of an accident and was wondering if the things i list can be replaced, and fixed to look new.

First of all, bumper, i will be getting a new one, but the from part of the cars body is totally out of place.
The metal is all bended downard because the car I hit was rather high compared to mine.

it was a straight forward hit, my radiator support is bent in, and my hood latch is messed up, it wont log in completely because of it being bent, and out of place.
My hood is completely dented in half starting from 1/3 of the front area.
Both fenders are dented right where it reaches the bumper, headlights are all out of place.

Just wanted to explain ;S
But will I beable to replace my radiator support? thanks.
I will take pics of course very soon

until we see pics, it will be very hard to tell you honestly. I would say as long as the wheel wheels where the fenders bolt to aren't messed up you will just need basically a front clip and rad support.

I work in a body shop and anything can be fixed. but if the frame is bent which im sure it isn't then your screwed. Post pics and it will help. but im pretty sure your talking about the bumper guard or the radiator support. if so those can be replaced and the mounting brackets and all can be bent to put a new radiator support on.

the hood is actually made to crumple in a crash. The rad support is spot welded on to the car, so you'll need a 5/16 drill bit to drill them out then chisel the welds afterwards to remove the metal.
Please, make it easier and post some pics.
