Don't worry buddy, I just got into a accident as well, I'm 18 as well..
But I managed to last 6 months before i got into an accident, so not too bad.
My front end is sort of like that, except its everything from my grille-up.. so my hood is screwed too..
It's in the bodyshop, won't be repaired for a month, then one more month for the repair..
Same color I believe too, Crystal Pearl White?
hope your's is repaired soon, I basically cried seeing mine like that.. lol

How long ago was the accident, and what stage is the bodyshop at now?
The front end, fenders, doors even had to be redone.. it pushed my fenders towards my door, so I couldn't even get out of my car at the time of the accident..
Paint is expensive, I'm glad insurance is covering all of it, but it blows because my insurance is going to suck for the next 10 years, my rate is going to jump like crazy.. mine is $11,000 in damage..
The ONLY thing I do not like, because they are only painting the parts that need to be replaced, which mean the paint is 3 years on the rest of the car.. so when the back starts fading more, it will look different.. I asked how much it would cost to repaint the entire car a different color, they wanted $8000!! lol
Ugh, I dunno I am just hoping they will get it done soon. I miss it like crazy..

Oh, and the body shop wanted about $600 to repaint the front bumper of my Lexus for a scratch about half an inch long. Thank goodness the license plate covers it. I'm not about to file a claim for that.

i took my car to a bodyshop that charges a bit more than most, since i'm going thru my insurance. that way you pay for what u get, they've done a great job so far, painted both sides, replaced hood, two fenders, my doors realigned, headlights are almost on, then the front bumper needs to be put on, and just a some finetuning. so ya hopefully next week, that is of course of the Bodyshop decides to buy those used ECU's from that website.
but yea man, i'm there to, i miss my car so much i just want it back, i think i say it every day, i'm like "you know what" my friends are like "what" i say, "i want my car back" haha, everyday no joke.

18 years old... 40K car.... 300+ HP.... 20K accident. Yeah, I would say your insurance will go up a little bit.
When I was 20, I got into an accident in my used 3000GT with 220HP(10K value at the time). THe damages were 4500 for my car, 2K for theirs, and 4K for each of the 3 people in the other car... whiplash.
Statefarm gave me the boot. Stuff Happens. Good luck!
