a pic of my accident on oct. 26th, have a few questions.

wassup guys, i got into an accident a few days ago, and this is the only pic i could take as of today. i will take more pics tomorrow of the damage that you cant see in this pic. i busted my oil cooler so i need a new one. whats also busted is the passenger side suspension, maybe the spindle, control arm, wheel, headlight housing broke into pieces with the HID not working, hood shifted, and the frame is very slightly bent. is there any very good, high quality carbon fiber hoods made that come with the ?vents? on the hood? i have my eyes set on a specific set of rims already, but dont know which suspension company i should go with. i would like to make this a street/drag car so which suspension kit would u recommend? i was looking into the hks hipermax or tein flex. lastly, i have not gotten a solid estimate on how much it'll cost to fix this, but i was thinking around $8,000. i already got a set of MR headlights and a new front bumper. does $8k sound too little, just right, or too much? any help/comment(s) is highly appreiciated. thanks in advance!

you need to provide more pictures.. i'd say it's a little too much for the amount of damage i see from the pic. i would look at vis for quality cf hoods but for coilovers i heard the hipermaxes tend to leak gas.. so if you have the money go for zeal

UPDATED estimate given

heres the update. parts and price of them

right headlamp module - 544.80
right headlamp bulb - 123.32
right fender - 431.60
right fender liner - 51.02
right front knuckle - 259.13
front reinforcement beam - 231.75
front beam brackets - 35.70
oil cooler - 388.12
oil feed line - 73.93
oil return line - 73.93
hood hinges - 50.26
hood latch - 22.63

my total for parts is 2286.29 ~~~> does that sound about right?

i also have lots of labor to be done including painting the fender, installing the knuckle, radiator support, inner apron, sidemember, str8tening of frame, hood intsall, and switching my headlights to MR headlights. my labor is about 1700.

my all around total is a lil more than 4500. im also getting new rims and suspension due to the damage which is around $4500 but i wont include that for now.

does this shound about right also? or am i paying too much? also, when you order a fender from the dealer, does it come painted or no? any answers are appreiciated once again. lol. thanks in advance.

^itz more like 4500 in my upated post. thats without a new front passenger side strut and a new rim. the new stock rim and strut for that side is about 1k. since its gotta be replaced, im gonna get my new suspension an d new rims while im at it. so for others reading this, is $4500 for those parts listed, and labor around the right price? and do oem parts [ie, fenders] come painted when theyre ordered at the dealer?
