Hit a Snow bank need some advice
So here's the deal. I'm very new to evo's. A couple months ago I bought an 05 MR that someone had traded in at my work so I got it for a killer price. The previous owner did all the modifications that are on the car. Long story short I crashed it and idk what parts are factory, what parts are jdm and what parts are aftermarket. I would really like to return the car to the way it was when I bought it, so I was hoping someone could tell me what I need to buy. All i need is the hood, front bumper, RH headlight, rear bumper, and rear diffuser. any insight would be greatly appreciated.
I only have these three pictures from before the accident http://imgur.com/a/OM73A

Wow, you did some DAMAGE there... to some expensive parts..
OEM front bumper (check dealer)
Rexpeed canards ($140)
Varis oil cooler duct and air duct (reproductions $240)
Right JDM 8 MR headlight (good luck finding just one... easily $800
Voltex rear diffuser: $940
Voltex hood $600-$1400 depending if you go reproduction or voltex itself
JDM rear bumper $740
Good luck, as you did some serious expensive damage there.

New owner, unfamiliar with the car, snow and ice.... Pretty typical.
We've had a pretty gnarly winter this year, with some amazing swings in temperature. Snow and ice, plus an inexperienced driver in an unfamiliar car makes it pretty easy for this to happen.
I have owned my car for 8 years, and have driven performance cars for 22 years (Jesus has it been that long?!?!? F*k I'm old), and I still managed to rip off my front lip using my Evo as an unintentional snow plow...

yeah, the car was beautiful. only 30k on it. Anyways, I went through insurance and they cut me a pretty nice check, and the car is getting fixed at a body shop I trust fully(I used to work there / it's owned by my family). It doesnt have any frame or suspension damage, thank god. They already started the body work I just have to find and order the parts now and wait for paint. It was front and rear damage because I hit the RF on a snowbank and the car spun 180 degrees around into another snow bank, worst part, I drove by the other day now that most of the snow is melted and its a wide open parking lot. if it weren't for the ice banks, I would have just spun out. Any way thanks a bunch for your help identifying the parts.
