Brooks, that's a pretty good hit and you'll need a front less a right and I"ll bet the rads are either gone or tweaked. Depending on parts prices/availability you could easily drop anywhere from $35-5500 depending on the shop you choose. I don't know what that car goes for where you are, but in this neck of the woods, you pretty much called it right off as a write off. If you go for a repair, get the estimate in writing, itemized and agree in advance whether there is any left in the kitty for hidden damage additionals. You can ASK for a contract price, which means NO additionals, but some shops won't do it. Good luck

Holy cow! She's only 17 too. I wonder if her insurance agent has dropped her like a sack of potatoes?

I think I'd be a complete mess if it had been the 'Cuda. Trying to figure out what to do with the Sonata now. 80% of the car is still perfect.

Restomod!!! slam a 340 in it!! :ylsuper:

Unfortunate accident. 
If there's no major structure damage go to your local salvage yard to see if
they have a front end.
 They can check other salvage yards for parts.
Good Luck
