Here is what i have so far for parts cost. $300 for the hood, $150 for the headlight, $100 for the mirror $90 for the blinker and $200 for the fender. If i do need a new bumper which depends on what it looks like when i get it up in the air. If i do need a new bumper I found the 00 bumper is cheaper it was about $300 for on with fogs but it says cover only not sure what that means. I'm going with all used parts except for the radiator I always have if there a little scratched its ok It needs to be painted anyways which is gonna run me about $300-$500. So were up to about $1200 if i dont need a bumper $1500 if I do. Now this is if it doesn't need to be put on the frame machine.

I know how you feel Choas!
My car got hit Friday afternoon 
Some turkey at the local car wash backed his Ford F-350 into my car as I was preparing to wash it. I had the trunk lid open to get my wash mitt out and all of a sudden my car jumped backwards, knocking me right off my feet!
At first I thought someone had got into my car to steal it and was trying to run me over at the same time. The driver of the pick-up said he didn't see my car before he backed up.....maybe checking in his mirrors might have helped!
His trailer hitch punched a nice hole in my bumper and buckled the hood so it won't open. Probably need a new passenger side headlight assembly as well.
Not sure yet what other damage may have also occurred under the hood.
There wasn't so much as one bit of damage on his !#$*%!& truck.
He says he wants to pay cash for my repairs. He might change his mind when he hears how much they're going to cost. It goes into the body shop on Tuesday.

There's nothing wrong with used sheet metal parts as long as they're in good shape. The main thing is that they match exactly when they're painted, since the rest of the paint has already been oxidized. That could be the toughest thing with your repair. Some body shops have computer matching that take this into consideration.

Most of it looks like it can be fixed with paint. On the passanger side down at the bottom there is a blemish that might need to be filled a little bit before paint. I'll post some pics for you to see what i'm talking about. The only thing that may be hurt on the bumper is the supports behind since it didn't crack or anything. Oh and I assume we would be trading fogs too.
