				Today I rear ended someone, and was left with a warning for "following too close". No collision on my car. Basically i have to pay for the damages myself.  Heres the thing, to my knowledge my whole front end basically is unfixable so i dont really know what to do.  i did this like 2 hours ago and the hood is wedged into the bumper so i cant even look to see what it looks like under the hood.  The car runs, and the airbags did deploy (smashed my windshield in the process of this "life savor".)  I have around $2,000 availiable to my name, im a hard working 17 year old just trying to have something to get around, but i am thinking about getting a kit. I have little knowledge on the body work area and was hoping that you guys can give me some better ideas on what to do. Maybe try to scavenge a bumper and hood? another thing is i can barely open my front door, like litterally my whole front end wedged into the middle of my car.  I was already planning on getting a kit at some time but im also freaked out because of what happened, so should I spend some money on a body kit, or somehow fix this so its drivable.  I love my car i was hoping u guys can look at the damages and give me some ideas on what to do.

				Why are you asking us? Get your ass to a collision center and have an expert check for frame damage, kid. That way you'll know for sure what to do.
