First thing to do is pick the shop that will perform the work. Talk to them about the price and how it will be affected if you bring them parts. Be aware that imported body parts may be cheaper to BUY than OE Ford, but that sometimes they don't fit as well or may need additional work to install - and shops will often charge more labor for them.
If you are buying the OE side scoop from Ford, they usually sell the grill insert seperately. Aftermarket versions come both ways, so you need to contact the source and see what they say. Many suppliers will ship the scoops already painted, which can save you some money (though be sure to check that the paint matches - some colors (like metallic silver) are much harder to match than others).
If by "side panel" you mean the quarter panel, this is actually one of the more difficult repairs since this part of the car is part of the unibody - not a seperate piece bolted onto the unibody.
Hope this helps. Best thing is to pick a shop and start talking to them BEFORE you buy any parts. Best of luck, we've all been through it!
