you might try to fix it out of pocket. it will probably be several grand (maybe 5 or so)

i ran into a pole in my GTP a few months ago. i ended up paying $2500 for
-used hood
-new fender
-paint for both
-new full headlight assembly and lights
-a couple new braces behind the bumper

i figure you got about that much, plus the cost of the radiator.

but who knows if there is frame damage and such.

my suggestion... go to 2 or 3 body shops and get an estimate from them and don't tell your insurance company a thing. it might cost you $5k to fix it, but in the long run your upped insurance on hitting another car and having a "total loss" might be much much more
