I'm not sure how much help we can be over the internet. You probably need to get find a reputable collision repair shop in your area and drop it off with a deposit check (probably about $5000). You might ask for a shop recommendation in your local s2ki forum.

With some luck, the front frame might be able to be straightened. The rear subframe can be entirely replaced...and hopefully, the mounting points were not shifted.

I suspect it will be more than you thought. Hey, at least you own a S2000! Congrats!
