The appraiser and body shop already list some frame damage but I think it could be worse. If you notice in the picture below all of the bottom panels have popped off the car, front to rear. This tells me the entire unibody was flexed and stressed.

Have it trucked to a dealership and tell them you'd like to get a new BRZ 'if it turns out your car has to be totaled'. It's amazing how estimates skyrocket when you mention that. Having a car repaired only saves the insurance company money because they don't have to pay the full value of the vehicle.
You get to choose where your car gets repaired, not the insurance company. Don't let them jerk you around.
I can't see anything in your post. Make sure your pic posted.
