I've been there...done that too, so I know how you feel.
My accident was almost three years ago, and the body shop fixed it up like new ($13,500 ). They bolted on all new parts, and there was no frame damage.
I've driven it 27k miles since then, including three trips to Colorado with no issues. In a way, I'm more relaxed with the car now since I know it can be fixed if something happens.
The S2000 aluminum hoods wrinkle pretty easily. In my case, the front of my S actually went under the rear end of an Acura RDX that crashed in front of me. I wonder if Vyk had a similar experience?? The hood, radiator, headlight, fender, etc, took the brunt of the impact, and they're not made for that. The mechanic had to do a lot of tweaking to the front cross-members to make sure everything was properly aligned before installing new parts. I was amazed at the list of parts they replaced on my car...pages upon pages. Whether or not they actually needed all those parts, well... However, you soon discover that you're at the mercy of these body shops. It can be quite a scam, and all you want is to have your "baby" back.
