my first accident :(

Well...got in my first accident. Driving home from school today, some guy pulled right out in front of a person in front of me, and I hit the guy in front of me. The person that caused the accident took off. I hit an old rusted out cadillac with a ram bar on his REAR bumper. I have a 3"x3" hole in the front bumper from his rear bumper and two dents/scuffs on the bumper from his two steel bars. My hood is bent, dented in two places, with minor scratches. BUT IM OK.

lol. "Now I can get a cf hood and gfx."

-I hit an old guy that didn't seem to be all there. He wasn't pissed.
-Fire Department came and checked the guy out. He didn't want to go to the hospital.
-A witness testified to the cop that she saw the whole thing and saw the guy that pulled out in front of everyone. She didn't get a lisence plate. She said I didn't have a chance.
-No I didn't get a ticket or any filed report from the sherrif's department. There were no serious injuries so he didn't file one. Good for me because I won't get a point of my driving record.

MY DEBATE IS THIS....

I'm 17, if this accident goes on insurance, I'm screwed. Should I just go to a body shop, get it fixed and be done with it?

Whatever needs to be fixed is coming out of my pocket. Should I seriously just buy a replacement hood and bumper, get them painted, and install them myself?

I got into an accident with my 300zx (the car was totaled) and my insurance for a 94 honda prelude is 2100$ with collision.

Does anyone know where to get an OEM hood and OEM front bumper? I would get a cf hood, but the problem is I won't have the stock one in case I need to sell it or something.
