Unhappy Guys, I need some advise

A few weeks ago back when we had the really heavy rain, I was cruisin down this curved street in the left lane. It was a 2 lane road ( 2 lanes on each side) and this huge lifted Silverado cuts me off, he would have slammed into my side but I hit the brakes. Anyway, I hit the brake hard enough that I started to hydroplane. To avoid sliding into the oncoming traffic from the other side of the road, just as a reflex I guess, I pull the wheel all the way to the right, and I begin to spin. 2 360 spins accross an intersection in fact. Don't hit anyone, but smack both of my wheels into the North east corner of the sidewalk. Minimal body damage, just a good chunk of the plastic under the wheel well in the front. As you could imagine, my steering is completly F'ed. Drove it back to my friends house and just to go straight I had to drive the car when the wheel turned upside down. Waited a couple of days for the rain to stop, and put it up on the jack and tried to figure out how bad it really was. Looks to me like I have a bent steering arm. The back tire was also hit, and the tire was hit out of place and is now almost touching the wheel well. Ok, so I'm 19, with a 412.00 car payment, and a 327 a month insurance policy with a 1000 dollar deductible. I pretty much only have 500 bucks in my account right now. I can't afford to report an accident due to the rise in insurance. I wouldn't be able to afford anything higher than what I'm paying. I'm broke as it is. But I was thinking about this, what if I got whatever is wrong in the back fixed, called the dealer, said I hit a pot hole or something really hard, and pray to the lord that they'll call it a defeted piece and fix it for me. Also, my car only has 19,XXX miles on it. I'm really in a bad spot right now and need to figure out a way to get my car fixed ASAP. Hopefully you guys might have some good advise for me. Thanks for reading this long ass thing, I really appreciate any help you guys might have. Hope to hear from you soon. God Bless.

really dude your f. The chances are you bent alot more than you think and in the long run it would be better for insurence to fix it. Becouse when its done it would be 100%. But if you want to save some money I may be able to help. I have a good budy of mine that owns a body shop called riteway autobody in huntington beach off slatter his name is max. Hes the owner. Just tell him joey sent you. He would be able to give you a good price on your stuff and tell you what you really need to fix it right. Hes a good guy very reliable. Even if you dont fix it he will put it on a lift and show you what you need even if you dont use him.
