2.) Cut my losses, take my turbo/n2o/exhaust/intercooler/etc., and go find myself a 1g gsx to put em on.

Cost should be about the same either way. This really sucks :-(
No! No! Please no!

Keep it! I would hate to see your car head off to some salvage yard, or at least someone else who wouldn't appreciate it as much.

I can't see all the damage obviously, but it sounded like all those were bolt on parts... So you need some new fans, headlights, hood, bumper, a foglight, a radiator, and maybe some new intercooler pipes.

You could get all that for under $800 if you shop smartly and look for used parts in good shape. Plus none of those are a real hassle to put on yourself. All you'd have to shell out the real dough for is frame straightening if it's needed, and paint.

Please don't sell your car! I really don't want to see it fall into someone else's hands. If I were around North Carolina, I'd help you fix it personally.
