well that's good. just make sure the things structurally safe before you just replace it cosmetically and think it's good to go. My gf just recently had a pretty serious problem because of that.

but GL, and make sure to keep us all posted with what happens

Well its good to hear you are ok. Cars are replaceable. I may get some pieces off of you to make some molds from.

ok so my boy said it's not bad at all. he said there was another TC that was totaled and we can use the door and stuff from it. 1900 to fix it and this will take a week.

1900 to fix? whatttt. that's pretty damn good if everything is going to be really fixed. But suspension stuff is always a _____.
I ran into a curb a while back and things just havent been the same

The pics look like it took a hard enough hit that the structure might be tweaked. I'd suggest having it put on a chassis jig to ensure the unibody is in spec, as they can bend it back to shape if/where needed. If this isn't done, the car may not be able to be aligned even after fixing the suspension, and even if it does align to spec, there can still be other issues. Just saying FWIW.
