Default Suggestions after accident.

I hit a pole in the parking lot entering the Scion Expo in Houston (stupid wet pavement) It damaged the front bumper/hood/grill, and drug the pole under the car damaging the exhaust, underbody, and gas tank. So picking up after the accident.... This is sorta the plan, looking for input and suggestions.

Body- I think I'm going to do a carbon fiber hood because it's cheaper than the factory hood, and won't require painting. (plus the one I want is actual carbon fiber top and bottom) If I can find a good price on an aftermarket front bumper and side skirts that looks decent I would do that too.

Motor - Considering the Power Enterprises Camcon to help tweak the VVTi system. And since the exhaust got damaged, maybe I can get Moadster to finally do up an exhaust for me.

Suspension - Not sure if I should go with the Blitz or HKS coil-overs. The Blitz kit uses Sachs dampers which are some of the best on the planet. But I wanted to find something that has camber/caster adjustments for around $1300 shipped.
