I went to the junkyard and got the headlight and side marker light

No maxima of the same color so i couldn't use their bumper and side fendor

I can order them both from rockauto for like $80 + $400 shipping :O
yea thats to canada; and on top of that i would have to paint it..

Or i can take it to a body shop and see what they can do with that..I am not familiar with body shops or what type of work they can pull off so i come here to ask y'all suggestion

btw, im planning to sell this car soon and at the end of the day cheapest solution is the best for me
its seen canadian winter so it has rust but other than that it is in good condition with 140k km/87k miles

What y'all think?

Was this a single car accident, or did you hit someone, or someone hit you?

Just replace your bumper, fender , and your lights that you already brought. Should be an easy job(assuming nothing else is broken). & you can just bring it to any paint shop before you install the parts.

So I take it you're not going to file an insurance claim?

From the looks of the damage, I'd take the car apart and check for damage you can't see. You might have some things bent that won't allow you to simply bolt up the new parts to.
