I am sorry if i am posting this in the wrong place but i could not find a heading for body damage.

Any ways, I live in new jersey and only know someone at a local body shop. Last winter i slipped on some black ice and drove through a snow pile and into a chain link fence. I threw it in reverse and thought i was stuck so dropped it in 4LO and locked the diff and got right out. As it turned out i was hung up on the fence and broke some stuff. Destroyed the pass side headlamp assembly, both factory fogs. I also tore up the pass side fender and ripped 3/4 of the fender flare completely off. Also tore the pass side corner of the bumper off.

Well I ordered the Shrockworks Winch bumper and it will be shipped next week, so no worries on bumper/fog issue. I found a body shop to install it and the blinkers and two sets of PIAA lights. When I was there i looked into replacing and painting the fender and fender flares (i replaced the head light assembly my self already). He was talking around $1700 for parts and i stopped him there.

A friend suggested I look online either for junk yard/second hand/after market parts and then just have them painted or buy them in the 05 white color.

I dont know how to do that, anyone have any tips or ideas?

Well, those flares aren't cheap, you will need a new fender (not sure if you were quoted aftermarket or oem, aftermarket should suit you fine if you go CAPA certified). I can also almost guarantee you have some apron and upper rail damage, which means time on a frame machine. They will need to blend the paint into the door and possibly the hood. I can't tell, in one picture, it looks like the hood is buckled, which would mean you need to replace that and then blend into the left fender. I also can't tell if you have regular white or the pearl, which is even more expensive. I think $1700 is steep just for parts unless they were talking about the bumper, too and misunderstood you when you were talking about the shrockworks.
 
sorry i cant help with your delima, but did i read correctly that you order a shrock bumper and its shipping out in a week? wait times for those usually are around 3-6 months! shrockworks mustve gotten on top of their game lol
