Hey, i had an accident exactly like you. Check out my link.

It ended up costing me about 400 bucks to fix, not including rim. That was way cheaper than i expected so i think you can fix your shit for way cheaper than $1900. You shouldnt worry about the frame tweaking. I highly doubt it since your suspension will bend and break first. I can tell from your pic that one of the control arms is extremely bent. It looks to be the same control arm that i had to replace on my car.

If your crossmember isnt damaged then everything else should be easy. I would replace the strut, front control arm, everything that looks broken, and possibly the knuckle.

The wheel should still be usable too. I rode on mines for a few months with no problems.

uh, yeah... i'm assuming he doesn't. Paying $1900 plus the cost of a wheel to keep your rates from going up is pretty dumb; but then again, so is not carrying full coverage on an S2000...

If it isn't cracked, you can drive on it. Shop around for a decent deal on one locally. Expect the suspension repairs to cost a bundle of cash...
