Well right off the bat I see a new fender, 2 doors, a rear quarter panel, rear & front bumper and 2 or 3 airbags. A quarter panel plus the labor alone to install is alot, airbags are $$thousands. Keep in mind installing new doors takes alot of labor too, everything has to be swapped over from the original doors to the new. I'm sad to say it is a total loss, since its an 04' the car probably has nearly 80,000 miles or more, plus its 13 years old now, not really a high value. Let the insurance company total it out & pay you the value.

The first pic was my car after I got rear ended by a chevy s-10 at about 20mph. .. His tow hooks punched a hole in the bumper. Bent the trunk lid a bit. Damaged the honeycomb plastic within the bumper. Insurance estimated $2000 to fix it.

The other two was me getting bumped by someone who ran a stop sign in a POS taurus... Insurance estimated $5000. Thats close to 50% of the value of the car.
If it was 75% of the value of the car it would've been written off.

Its really easy to get a car written off. Just as a modest estimate, your car may cost around 25 G's to fix. Including paint. That alone may cost 5 to 6 G's. 10 If you want it to be the original paint. That includes deconstruction of the car to make sure the panels are being painted individually. Keep in mind this would bring it back to an almost original state. Almost...

That shit will buff right out. No problem.

Insurance company will total it. If you want to pay to fix it you can. IMO it's not worth it.
