Question Frame damage?

Today it had snowed and long story short ABS didn't help like I thought it would and I ended up in a ditch, going 5mph. It done more damage than I was expecting, bumper cover is cracked , passenger headlight is ruined, fender will need to be straightened or possibly replaced, and the hood is fine.

There's 3 things that worry me; the black metal piece under the headlight is trashed what is this called? The metal absorber behind the piece of foam is pushed in slightly cause it's hollow, do I need to replace that? And is there the possibility that I won't be able to mount a new headlight because the metal behind it is bent, this is my first wreck that I have to fix out of my pocket And I would like to save money but do it right cause its not that bad- 99 accord 2dr

Hard to say. Pull everything off and figure out what is bent/broken and then try looking in some boneyards and get replacements.
