Can We Rebuild Him? Do We Have the Technology? Better, Stronger, Faster?

Unfortunately I was in an accident yesterday and insurance will be coming by to look at the car soon. I am very worried that they are going to total it. Does the damage seem repairable?

In the front most of the damage I see is to the bumper, plastic panels that lead air into the radiator, the bottom mount/support for the radiator, and the radiator itself. The crash bar is a bit pushed up/back on the driver's side. The metal structure behind the crash bar that goes around the radiator still seems okay.

No damage was done to the passenger side. The driver's side front fender will need to be replaced and there is a scratch on the driver's door. The air bags were not deployed and the hood, trunk, and both doors still open/close just fine. All four wheels still seem straight.

The rear is what has me worried. The rear bumper, my HKS exhaust, driver's side taillight, and driver's side rear quarter panel are smashed. Sure, I can just bolt on a new bumper and exhaust, but the quarter panel can't be replaced easily, which is why I'm worried it will be totaled...
