    Ouch!

    Need to take it to a body shop for an estimate.
    Assuming you do not have full coverage, you can decide on fixing or not after the price they give.

    Hope everyone is ok, Good Luck

    edit: is that a Gen3 ?

    Looks like it's totaled. If it has an OEM catalytic converter, it's worth more than the car.

    Maybe totalled. How many miles and what year?

    How’s the hood and side fenders? Some more overall pics?

    With that style of foglight blank, it's a 2010/11. Probably a ton of miles on the odometer.

    With that much carnage to the front underside, it must have been a low embankment hit at pretty high speed. Probably a lot of upward thrust energy on the front end, front crossmember mangled. I'm guessing that the frame is out of whack/spec. If the hood is damaged/buckled, then there was definitely upward flex on the frame.

    Totalled.

    Thank you for reply.
    I already threw out the catalytic converter years ago. I should have sold it.

    Thank you for reply.

    I agree, totalled. (I have limited liability)
    I'm very mechanical and contemplating getting used parts and replacing. If they don't add up to more that value. I drove it a mile to safe parking lot, it seemed to drive great.

    Hard to call that totalled; sad if it is. Yeah the hoods a little high on right side, but $5k range would restore it to spec?

    First pic I posted here; now that’s totalled:
