Don't take my advice.
All of those are sable parts, so not much I guess. Unless you need a bumper cover too.

Don't those bumper supports just bolt in? Shouldn't be a hard job at all really...

If you cant pay for having it done you have 2 choices.
-Do it yourself to save AT LEAST the installation/labor (not the paint though), Finding the parts yourself can also reduce the price tag alot.
-Sell the car and start walking.

I would say it all depends on the shop. I would do some calling around and comparing of prices. You will probably save money if you can come up with the parts first...

If you can't fix it yourself, then don't even start.
Unless you can find the body shop that your local used car dealers use, as usually they are not dialed into insurance work.
If I were doing it, I would consider getting the parts, and having them painted before they are installed. That will save you quite a few hours, at $100.00 per hour.

Rebuilding the front end of an SHO isn't that complicated. Headliners can be had new for less than 50 shipped (they make then in Lombard, IL, just down the road). Then pick up a good bumper isolater and shim it bac into place, rehang the filler... now the covers aren't cheap for new, 300 IIRC and getting one painted right with the flex additives will run into 300+ so 600 painted is about as good as it gets then you hang it!
You could probably make the front end of an SHO look pretty good for $1000 in parts alone: Isolators, rust and wrinkle treatment, headliner, lights, filler, cover, etc..., with nothing for labor.

If the frame is not bent you could buy used body parts of the same paint color from someone on the forum and bolt it in yourself. You can have the front end painted and blended with the rest of the car or leave as is. Otherwise, any type of serious bodywork/paint will not make sense costwise. You'd be better off buying a well maintaned, undamaged car.

The hard part to find is the bumper cover itself... if thats not too messed up looking.. .a bumper support, and that headliner / headlights are only a few hundred from a JY or off the forum here.. then you can get a new bumper cover when someone spins a RB on a silver SHO.. give it time.. they always pop up... 
Where in the "midwest" are you exactally? I know of a few JY's with SHOs.. I dont believe they have anything that silver color tho... but everything behind the bumper would be there...
