Can't see much of what's going on in the pic other then its real ugly now.Need to get a closer look at the uni body to see if its a easy fix or not.Is the uni body/boxed part kinked or is it just body damage?You should post more pics from under it looking up so we can see whats all bent up.

Doesn't look really bad. The radiator support looks good, and can be replaced if not. All that broken stuff bolts to the rad support, along with some other brackets. Wrecking yard hunting is fun and then a respray should look good again.

I fixed mine!
I can't see your pic though. App usually let's me download it but I can't even do that.
Anyways, if the inner fenders are smashed it makes the job a bit more difficult, I had to cut am inner fender out of a parts jeep and weld it in. Then I beat the other side back into shape. I'm going to eventually weld a new inner fender on the other side too because it doesn't line up like I'd like it to.
Other than that it was just a matter of new hood, fenders, header panel, etc.

The other fender is forest green. I purposely put a white fender from my parts jeep on there to get more colors on it. Lol. I'll probably paint it up eventually but its very low in my priorities.

Looks to me like you have an Airbag deploy. Probably not worth it to fix- people usually want an arm and a leg to replace those.
Depending on where you live you'll probably have about $500 to $800 in parts plus cost to match paint just for the exterior damage barring any "frame"/unibody damage. Then add the cost of replacing the airbags (which pricing is all over the place depending on where you go and what you want).
What's the condition of the rest of the vehicle? Mileage? Do you own it free and clear? These and others will be factors in determining whether it's worth it to fix.
