From the pics (including hidden damage) of your car, IMO, it's going to be totalled.
Here's a good article from Edmunds on total loss: https://www.edmunds.com/auto-insuran...otal-loss.html |

What about the car makes you think it's going to be totaled? I'm assuming the damage to the unibody? No glass was broken, no airbags went off, all doors, the hood, and the trunk still seem straight.
To me the front looks easily repairable: new driver's side fender, bumper, radiator, a few plastic bits, and it's all set. In the rear they'd probably have to cut that section out and weld in a new one. I was rear ended about 10 years ago and the car had similar damage, but they still didn't total it and were able to repair it. That car was worth less than my FR-S.
I guess if it is totalled, then keep an eye out in the classifieds for aftermarket parts I'm going to try to salvage. I still have all stock parts in the garage, so hopefully I can get my header/over pipe, various interior bits, etc back and resell them for a little extra cash to put towards another car...
