No insurance? Suspended license? No excuse for this........that guy is probably going to end up beating rocks and making license plates.

I know you feel bad.....I share your feelings, dude......It can be a real pain.
A little good news for you, though.....based on the pictures you posted, it doesn't look like there's any real frame damage....just a collapsed door panel. (Wouldn't hurt, though, to have the frame alignment checked against specs, though, anyway, just to be sure). If the frame is not bent, the chances are much better , after repair, that the car will be as stiff and drive like before as much as possible.
Some more good news.....today's body shops....at least the good ones....are MUCH better at matching paint colors that they used to be, especially with silver and the light metallics....traditionally the hardest.

Good luck...we're hoping for the best.
