looks repairable to me. i had a boo boo on the same side last year. my shock tower was pushed back about 1/2 inch. the one thing that saved my car(and made it a pain from my buddy's work to pull it out) was the subframe connectors...weld-ins. that's why i love the weld ins. since it was a friends shop, he got the insurance comp. to fix my ultraZ hood which the top and bottom layer had split and started to peel apart. the bill was under $4K and i only had to pay a $500 deductable.
Good Luck

Is it me or it seems like many people that drive these cars get in wrecks on wet roads? I understand that a lot of HP + rearwheel drive can lose control easily, but what leads to wrecks? Sorry that happen to you man, this is why I try to avoid driving mine in the rain. And if I do I'm careful as ****.

Like has been said at least you're okay man. Cars, much like women, are replaceable, regardless of how attached you may be to them.

Man, that makes me never want to get a STB, looks like the driver side was pushed out due to the STB transferring force to the strut tower on that side, without it I doubt there would be any damage to that side...

Thats repairable. It can be made to look and feel like new if it is repaired by knowledgeable body techs. Ive seen worse and after repairing it you wouldnt notice a difference. Glad your fine.
