Firestone crashed my Supra!

After reviewing the police report and speaking to the witnesses of the accident, turns out the idiot driving my car was indeed thrashing the hell out of it. First thing he hold the cop was he was driving at the speed limit (35mph). A little suspicious, huh? And I have told Firestone in writing to kindly send payment of 6k before I take them to court. Theres no way they can win, every piece of evidence points at an idiot driving my car. People have told me to go with another car, but I just cant let this one go to waste.

Anyway, I feel that using the 6k to get it fixed at Toyota seems like a waste. Id have new original parts but now I need your advice on getting my baby restored.

First of all, its a non-turbo model, and I dont race. I just like cars with juice for when I need it (like idiots on the freeway, if you know what I mean), and I dont really wanna put up with the maintenance for the turbo. My stock supra was fast as hell anyway. I was just thinking of installing an intake/exhaust system but I hate that sound and like I said, I dont race, I just speed sometimes.

As far as body parts go, I need the fenders, hood, headlights, and possibly the whole bumper kit. I have found aftermarket parts but they are made of fiber glass/carbon, and Id like mine of steel like I originally had it. Also, getting all the original parts from Toyota will run me at around 3k. People have told me getting aftermarket parts could run me less expensive and I would be getting improved parts. So Im looking around. I have checked the junkyards in my area and as I suspected, no supras. Help for info on these parts is appreciated.
