Default crashed front GS 2014

so I had crash at the front of my lexus - airbags are out, I need to replace the headlights and the bumper,
can the fitment for 16+ front be done easily?
can I install the adaptive cruise control as well because I did not have it before?
can I even change to the new steering wheel?

Looks like you need more than headlights, airbags, and a bumper. Looks life frame damage, possibly the engine out of position. This looks borderline totaled to me.

can the fitment for 16+ front be done easily?
Not easily.

can I install the adaptive cruise control as well because I did not have it before?
Nobody has retrofitted it before, so it's uncharted territory. The parts are expensive your better off getting the insurance money for your car and buying a newer one with that feature.

can I even change to the new steering wheel?
Possibly, again no one has done it on this forum.

the gear, the engine and the general muscles of the car are in perfect condition with the compensation from the insurance, I can easily fix the car with about 70% of it, totaling the car is not an option for me because I way understimate the price of my car when I was doing my insurance , the good thing the accident is not my fault some idiot ran red traffic light

Could be wrong but to me, it looks like an obvious total loss. Aside from the massive visible damage, I can also see that both your frame rails are bent. You don't want to keep this car.

There's no such thing as "underestimating" your vehicle's value if you have Collision damage on your insurance policy. Unless you have some specialized policy, the maximum payout under Collision coverage is the current actual market value for your car. You cannot "declare" a value on the physical damage coverage on your car. So if you have collision coverage, your insurance will pay you the market value for your car, less your deductible.

I don't know how that is possible unless where you live the insurance coverage is very different from the U.S. Where are you - Spain Saudi Arabia?

I live in saudi arabia, the way insurance works, you first declare a value for your car when you do the insurance and based on it you insurance price will be calculated,
anyway I think we have shifted from the subject
I want to fix it with 2016+ front and steering wheel, is it easily done?

I am trying to delete them but I don't see where the option to delete? I was trying to start new threads without my car picture so the people can focus on the questions rather the actual car
