how much time is involved, and where can i get a diy. my ex got in a crash with her cx hatch. well the top of the hood is crushed like can and the radiator (top part) is pushed back touching the engine, the car dont start now, so i was thinking of swaping my dark grey dash for her black one.

also is the car repairable if the whole top bar is bent back to the engine, a truck backed into it and the rear bumper pushed everything back right where the hood line was. ill try to get picks up today. im thinking the insurance will say it a total loss and take it, or can i keep it so i can switch stuff or should i switch stuff before they check it out?
