decisions for parts (opinions needed)

ok guys so the adjuster came by... what i didnt know is for body work, they always use used parts unless you cant find them or it would not be safe. in the end take off the 250 for my deductible im getting a little more then 1300.
now the opinions i need

found a shop who has a dozen or so trucks that have been in magazines that will do the work (repair the core support and hood, replace fender and gen 4.5 bumper, prime etc) for a grand plus i buy the lights...which no one seems to be selling the full set of black 4.5's with the corners right now.

second choice would be to use all my old stock parts and replace the fender fix the other damage from the hurricane (about 300 bucks) and come away with something like 900 bucks, but back to comepletely stock

third is i do it all myself:
buy a junk yard fender
buy this to replace the front bumper http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ksid=p3907.m32

this for the hood
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Toyot...2em118Q2el1247

which will still leave me (inc about 75 for a fender) about 400 to buy head lights, maybe an hid kit, or the frotn struts that need replacing, or a rsb.... etc etc

and yes i could save some green and use another 4.5 front end, etc etc but i like the idea if im do it myself to use a completely aftermarket front end.

anyhow yall see my delima, so any input and opinions would be much help.
