Default my poor camaro...

So I got into an accident this morning. I need to find a replacement hood [red] replacement bumper [red] new signal lights, a new dash air bags and I don't know the technical term for it but the black piece that holds the headlights into place under the hood. I included a picture so maybe someone can tell me what it is? lol Can anyone give me a rough estimate on how much this should all cost? Insurance isn't covering any of it so all the work I'm doing by myself and with my dad. Also, if anyone is selling any of this stuff, let me know that'd be awesome. Are there any sites online that are good? Or any good camaro junk yards in NY? Thanks a lot.

check out local boneyards, then after that check out the classifieds section for parts cars. I highly doubt you'd find anything in red so you may have to add paint to your budget.

This is exactly what happened to me about 3 weeks ago....
I searched the forums and ebay and i got the following stuff:

Driver and passenger airbag w/ bracket: $250

2 Impact sensors for airbag (one in front of radiator, one under the dash to the right of the steering wheel), 1 arming sensor (under center console), airbag computer, and entire dash from modaddy parting his camaro : $200

Used bumper cover: $80

New hood: $235

New fenders: $79 each

My rad got bushed back a bit so they got a new crossmember: $80

Paint (prime, colour, clear) and installation of parts : $1000

I did the airbag system myself and installed the interior. Im gonna tell you its a lot of work because you need to remove the dash below the upper dash (which goes across the entire interior) and remove all instruments and dials and radio. If you are gonna install the airbag system i can give you some pointers but please remember it can be dangerous if not carefull with the parts. I am not a mechanic, just a 21 year old with a good brain. Give me a shout if you run into any problems....BTW if your new bumper doesnt line up right, make sure the crossmember is straight and the fenders did not buckle. Goodluck!

Thanks for all your help guys.

I've found everything on ebay except the hood. That I'll just have to get at a junkyard.
