Sorry for your loss Shaggy. Besides the clams the front crash structure will need to be replaced which is not only an expensive part but also labor intensive. If that doesn't total her, if the suspension pickup points on the rear chassis are damaged that will do it. Coolingmist... 16k to just replace a cosmetically damaged clam sounds totally out of line, was there any other damage? (radiator, crash structure, headlamps?)
