Looks like $7k damage for front but it frame bent or damaged, then $10k-15k.
Bummer. Hope you are doing good.

The good new:
I was able to request a time to "collect personals" from insurance and the salvage lot which allowed me to swap all of the go fast parts with the OEM parts that had been resting in storage. Just a warning to others - they WILL NOT let you take parts off without replacing them; makes it easier to rationalize hoarding all those lame OEM parts.
The bad news:
While taking my exhaust back I took a good long look at things that looked broken and noticed a big split in the transmission where everything had leaked out. All of the guts up front were pretty much as expected, rad broken and drained, washer reservoir missing, headlights broken and driver axle bent.
The next steps:
Still awaiting a final number from the insurance company but I have decided to invest in a new WRX for snow reasons, winter in Colorado is not always this dry and warm. With any luck I will be able to get back into an 86 before next summer; there is just nothing on the road quite like it.
P.S. Yes I will start being more careful in adverse weather condition, I have no desire to ever go through this again it is just to hard to see my baby like that.
Thank you for all of your help and I hope I can be of help for anybody else in a similar situation.

I say higher than $17k in damage+paint...etc
I see their rationale.
Go for the FA20DIT!!!! Although many new changes and not truly the same engine anymore, you'll still be the twins's cousin with the FA20 2.0
