Questions about crash repair

Ironically, my girlfriend asked me to drive her to work today because her car couldn't handle the snow. Long story short, we got in an accident and theres some damage. Just bought it two weeks ago and I was so close to sorting out all the problems! Does anyone know of a good source for used parts around Denver? I'm looking for both fenders, driver door, front passenger signal and running light and a front bumper. I'm thinking I may go with an Addicted bumper, if anyone has any input it would be greatly appreciated. I'm on a budget but those bumpers are just so damn sexy. Also, is the part of the body directly under the doors replaceable? This has suffered substantial damage (it's destroyed). And lastly, any recommendations for a good body shop in the area? I can only do so much of this myself...

Haha, yeah the pictures aren't that exciting but here they are anyways. The other car got under my drivers side and spun me around into the median where I tagged the passenger front bumper. I had to use a bottle jack to get the bumper away from the tire so I could drive it home.

There are guys parting out on Craigslist everyday between Denver and the Springs. Also, Yota Yard is in Denver.
 
I went the Craigslist route already, only found one 2nd gen. Haven't gotten a response yet. I didn't know about Yota Yard! It didn't come up in my junkyard search. I'll be in Denver for a job interview tomorrow, I'll have to swing by after.
 
The rocker panel is going to be hard to repair, I suspect. There's structural steel under there that will probably have to be cut out and replaced. :(
 
Thanks guys, I ended up finding the parts on car-part.com. There was a salvage yard in Ft Collins that had matching fenders, door and lights. Looks like I wont need to paint it. Except for the rocker panel, thats definitely going to need some work. Now I just need to pick up a bumper and rear springs and I'll be all set. For now.
