My main worry would be around the left front engine bay. There is some support structure there. Needs to be perfectly square The lower unibody seems untouched. Of course fit and finish is an issue also. It's all up to who you trust the most. I hope it's better than new when it's done.

Make sure they understand you want all OEM parts. No china crap. You might be able to source some of your own parts. Save some $$.

The threshold for totalling a car is 80% of it's worth.
Example.. $10,000 car... $7,999 in damage or less, it gets fixed. $8000 or more its a loss.
I learned this when I totalled my last mustang January 22nd.

looks like a good excuse to get a different hood, bumper, and grille
