*sigh* - Accident last night - which "if..."scenario?

The car's a '99 9³SE auto with 109k mi. Not much damage beyond front bumper/lights/IC/radiator. Of course, both airbags fired, too. My suspicion is that at 10 yrs & 109k mi, they'll total it. I've got a lot of DIY work into upgrades & repairs in it.
Has anyone bought back their own 9³ on salvage title? If so, any idea what I might expect the buy-back cost to be?
So, my "what if ...?" scenarios are:
1) What if I just let it go? Should I fight for extra money due to the aftermarket upgrades? (Single pass IC, Forge DV, stainless sport exhaust, stiffer rear sway bar.) What about recent repairs? (DIC, struts/shocks.) What about "labor upgrades," like ported TBTC & 3" intake?
2) What if I accept a non-upgraded settlement & simply pull as much aftermarket stuff as I can? The IC is toast, but the exhaust & sway bar should be good. (I still have the factory sway bar, dead DIC & original Bosch DV. No old exhaust, but I could probably buy one to swap in pretty inexpensively.)
3) What if I want to buy it back as salvage & part it out? What can I expect as "sale-able" off the car?
Thanks for any insight.
Just thinking about all the repair time I've put into keeping this car reliable (it's my wife's daily driver) makes me feel very frustrated right now...
