The rest of the damage was in body parts (front clip, rear bumper and quarter panel). $16,000 of the estimate was just in parts since they had to order original OEM Nissan parts as it was less than 2 years old.

On a side note, it is suprising how much smoke/dust/particulates those air bags discharge into the cabin. I could smell it for 2 days after and it about choked me out of the car right after it happened.
That smell will stay with you forever. I still smell it from a wreck 9 years ago.
