Your headlights are out of align because your bumper is pushed in. What I am getting at here is your only damaged parts are your hood and bumper. Maybe some minor stuff going on behind the bumper. Certainly no frame damage. Hope this info gives you some sort of peace of mind.

Thanks! General consensus is the bumper can be repaired, 8 hrs of body work and 4.2 for paint. Also, general consensus is hood will be replaced. The front trim where the latch is, is down for replace. The latch is remove and re-install unless things don't line up after the new hood. Fenders are down for alignment at this point. Paint protection film will have to be replaced on the hood and bumper, maybe the fenders. Lights are remove and re-install.
