You are very lucky the damage was not that bad! A bodyshop can pull those panels back into place and buff off the hood. You'll get a new headlight out of this! You can use this as an opportunity to get some Cleared/custom headlights done and installed by your bodyshop! Also you can use this opportuinity to upgrade to better HID bulbs, replace the turn signals (they'll probably go out in a year or two) and while your at it, add HID fog bulbs.
It's a huge silver lining for you! Maybe you can get the bodyshop to order you a front A-Spec kit too! I can't be certain about your bumper since the photo isn't detailed enough. They might refinish it if the mounting tabs are still intact.
Bumper: $500 (for paint & labor)
Headlight: $100-$1000 (depending on what route you go
Hood: $100 (labor)
Fender: $100-200 (labor)
HID Bulbs: $35-130 (XB35 or Osram CBI's that are the best HID bulbs on the market now)
Turn Signals: $10 on amazon
A-Spec Front: $350 or less
HID Fogs: $50-100

Yeah, according to my body shop guy, it's all easy work and I might be able to do all the work myself, but that headlight housing is cracked inside and out. I'll be weighing my options Monday with him. I doubt it's worth my insurance going up to have them fix it. I'll look around at custom headlights, but I was quite fond of the stock ones lol.

I had my first tl sideswiped and totalled. The person would have driven off because he had no license. But his gf car was undrivable and she hurried over and took the blame for the accident. Thankfully they had insurance. Glad to see yours was mostly superficial. She will be good as new.
