Doesn't look that bad.
I HIGHLY doubt the frame was tweaked.
The bumber rail and the hatch part seem to have taken the force.
The wing needs to be replaced and the license frame.
You said the bumper popped out so your lucky there.
The hatch part will need professional work done.
They will most likely drill a few pin holes and pull the dents out or hit it from inside.
Then they will probably use a bit of bondo to seal and smal surface problems.
Painting on the other hand will cost you $$$$$$$ if done the right way.
They will most likley need to blend the paint meaing the back get's painted. That means the WHOLE hatch and roof. By this time it might be better to just paint the whole thing(hood,doors,fender).
I have a few small dents above my rear wheels and that's what would have to be painted on my car. I got this from my friend which is an automotive painter/ body man.
BTW if you get a Maaco paint job prepare to pay for a new paintjob every other year and do the masking yourself.

Yeah, I am not worried about the frame being damaged now. However it got bashed in pretty good in the middle. I can't even remove the spare tire (I even let the air out). The internal bumper is fubar and the mounts are tweaked. Even a bolt was severly bent! I found one for 80 bucks + shipping comes out to 115, so not too bad. Now I need to find some new bumper mounting brackets.
