Problem: The brake arms are bent, too.

Dude, just go to the lbs or a cop-op and see if they have a used front caliper laying around. You're making way more of a "problem" out of this than it really is.
How did you even damage your calipers in a crash anyway? I can't think of one real world situation where the brake calipers would ever make contact with the ground.
