I think it will be totaled. 
Sure the body looks okay, but you can assume EVERY piece of the suspension and brakes are ruined, and that will almost certainly mean both subframes are ruined or will at least need to be reset, AND it will almost certainly mean the upper arm attachments are belt like tin foil. It would take major money for parts and major money for custom fab work to repair the damage.
RIP, little S. If you can buy the hulk from the insurance company, you can probably part out the engine, interior parts, untouched body panels, etc.

Well, it was a good run... i made the horrible decision to go fast through a road i hadn't been on in almost a year... When taking a left turn at ~70mph i hit a pothole which made the rear end kick out.... i over-corrected, i was almost completely backwards when i hit the ~11'' curb (my s2000 is, well i guess was, lowered on Megan Racing Coilovers), it ripped the front bumper off, Destroyed my left two rpf-1's busted all 4 tires, busted 3 of the coilovers, shattered my left rear rotor and bent the entire hub, and has appeared to have ripped the left rear axle off of the Diff, i'm not really sure (because the car was sitting on it's frame) but the back left wheel is just completely f*cked and when put into first there is a horrible sound coming from that area
After all that the tow truck driver mangled my Q300 exhaust while trying to load it onto the truck
any idea's what travelers will give me, i have full coverage.. (i'm about 99% sure it's totaled)
Im sure they wont give me enough to buy another S, so i was looking at this http://charlotte.craigslist.org/cto/2858570865.html any thoughts?

Mulder headlights... yum. I attempted this a year back but failed after some aggravation of the procedure. Sure would be nice to get a pair though... 
Eitherway, Hope all goes well with your S. Getting a new one is never like owning the original, Sure it is updated, less miles and more reliable but the bond isn't there. Nor are the parts.
