Hit a Snow bank need some advice

So here's the deal. I'm very new to evo's. A couple months ago I bought an 05 MR that someone had traded in at my work so I got it for a killer price. The previous owner did all the modifications that are on the car. Long story short I crashed it and idk what parts are factory, what parts are jdm and what parts are aftermarket. I would really like to return the car to the way it was when I bought it, so I was hoping someone could tell me what I need to buy. All i need is the hood, front bumper, RH headlight, rear bumper, and rear diffuser. any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I only have these three pictures from before the accident http://imgur.com/a/OM73A

Wow, you did some DAMAGE there... to some expensive parts..

OEM front bumper (check dealer)
Rexpeed canards ($140)
Varis oil cooler duct and air duct (reproductions $240)
Right JDM 8 MR headlight (good luck finding just one... easily $800
Voltex rear diffuser: $940
Voltex hood $600-$1400 depending if you go reproduction or voltex itself
JDM rear bumper $740

Good luck, as you did some serious expensive damage there.

Insight: Call your insurance company.

Unless you have a very large bank account. Your looking at quite a few thousands in damage there. GL

Insurance will only cover OEM parts unless you documented it with them through photos and receipts!

New owner, unfamiliar with the car, snow and ice.... Pretty typical.

We've had a pretty gnarly winter this year, with some amazing swings in temperature. Snow and ice, plus an inexperienced driver in an unfamiliar car makes it pretty easy for this to happen.

I have owned my car for 8 years, and have driven performance cars for 22 years (Jesus has it been that long?!?!? F*k I'm old), and I still managed to rip off my front lip using my Evo as an unintentional snow plow...

So sad to see such a nice car crunched up. Hope the suspension is ok.

they Made the 8 in GG, the fact that its an 8 MR makes it a "rare" car, and like others said OP that's an expensive parts list that was broken.

yeah, the car was beautiful. only 30k on it. Anyways, I went through insurance and they cut me a pretty nice check, and the car is getting fixed at a body shop I trust fully(I used to work there / it's owned by my family). It doesnt have any frame or suspension damage, thank god. They already started the body work I just have to find and order the parts now and wait for paint. It was front and rear damage because I hit the RF on a snowbank and the car spun 180 degrees around into another snow bank, worst part, I drove by the other day now that most of the snow is melted and its a wide open parking lot. if it weren't for the ice banks, I would have just spun out. Any way thanks a bunch for your help identifying the parts.
