I wiped out in my sc almost the same way .I spun out on a corner at about 55 hitting the curb front wheel first then the rear then juped the curb and took down a turnpike sign. My whole rear quarter panel needed replacing with some other stuff it came up to about 5500.the funny thing altough i wercked out so bad my suspension was still good except for a broken tie rod and a cracked rim .a member here still has the rims and i dont think he ever had any problems with them so im guessing all you will need is new tie rod ends and a new complete alingment

$c300: yeah, thats kind of what Im looking into spending... havent got any quotes/estimates yet since i cant drive it... plus, i work m-f so im going to have to take some time off work... do you have before and after pics?
aznxenon: good stuff man, unfortunately there wasnt any room for me to go, had curbs/walls on both sides and it was pretty narrow... i was thinking that maybe with a lil more room i would had been ok...
sc250tt: man that sucks... how bad does it have to be so they advise you to change the whole quarter panel out? my suspension looks good, i think its only the steering rac the one i need... maybe even a lower control arm... cant tell just yet... the lower front damage is kinna bad too just havent had a chance to take the bumper off to take a good pic... radiator and a/c condenser are pushed in... so far... thats about it....

It doesn't look as bad that I've seen. My buddy's Chaser needs a new front, bumper support, fender linings (inner fenders need full panel beating) and ripped (iirc) 3 LCA's in his accident.
