Hit the guard rail going at 30mph there was snow on the road it just slid, insurance is not an option and wanted to know like how much will be to fix thanks. Also the right headlight broke thats probably the most expensive part.

Hard to say. Depends on the shop and who you know. I've seen estimates all over the place. I'd say just take it in and get some ideas.

Yikes, close to 5 grand or more. Start looking for used parts if you wanna save money. The trunk lid doesn't even line up anymore. Unless you have a ton of money saved up, you're f'd without insurance. Why you buy Evo with no insurance...?

What do you mean insurance is not an option? Like other have said you are looking at 5 grand MINIMUM to have that fixed correctly. Then there is the possibility of suspension damage. Evos are notoriously expensive to fix, which is one reason the insurance premiums are so high. Life lesson, if you cant afford the insurance, you cant afford the car.

Go through insurance. Front end is an easy fix, just a new fender. Rear end will probably be $1,500-$2,000 at least

That really depends on how handy you are, access to tools and a space to work.
If it's just the headlight lens? Find a good lens, cook yours off and replace. Check for sale, 100-200$?
Trunk? 50$ at a wreckers off of a 2003 Lancer ES. If you need one.
Tail lights? Brand new set 250$ from Depo. Or find the single you need, which could be a pita.
If anything is a mess once panels are removed...well you'll know when quarters come off, hope for the best.
If you're handy and have tools this could be fixed for very little money.

Based on my recent rear end, and a top of the line repair shop, I'd say $9k for repairs..... Low end repair shop with some items not repaired/replaced $5k

Honestly if you don't have insurance and you want it done right, you're probably better off parting it out or selling it as-is and buying another one.
