So long as you are ok. Looks like bumper cover, grill, will have to see the radiator support and how tweaked the hood and trunk lid are and a=latch areas are. What year and how many miles? I suspect you'll want a full spray job gauging how the clear is peeling on the hood and bumpers.

Bumper cover Toyota- new ~$500, spray ~$350
Grill can be found at the wrecking yard or that auction site. ~$75

1995 and around 178,000 miles. The hood won't open so it will need latch work and the trunk won't close . One of the horns are cracked. A full paint job would be needed.

Glad to hear you're ok

Actually this MAY be a total loss. We need pics of the inside of the trunk where it was hit, seems like possible structural damage that may make it not worth fixing to the insurance.

I wonder what the value of that car is if it's deemed totaled by the insurance...

I don't mean to be a ****, but could be a blessing in disguise? You could possibly get a fancier LS4
