Hood and bumper are obvious, the top support bracket and the factory airbox (had perrin tube, also destroyed) and MAF are smashed (somewhat concerned about plastic bits getting into the engine as it ran for ~15sec after the impact and the MAF housing was disintegrated). Both fenders are buckled and pushed back near the doors, the frame connectors that the fenders are bolted to also looked tweaked.

Of course it is fixable -- My damage in a crash almost identical to yours was caused by a foot-long trailer hitch which impaled my car just inboard of the left headlight. Most of the front end bodywork needed replaced, including the frame bar that runs across the top front. But, after a month and $7500, it was absolutely perfect once again, with all OEM parts. Have faith!
