i dont know if this has been mentioned yet, but if you get a flat in one of the rear wheels in our cars with a limited slip differential (sports package, 40th, nismo) you should probably take off your front wheel of that side of the car, put it on the rear, and put the donut up front. This was probably a contributing factor in your accident. Having a tire 1/4 the size of your drive wheel on a rear wheel drive car equipped with an LSD is going to mess with your traction.

yeah, but I didn't think I'd be doing anything more than granny driving for a few hours.

Oh man I hate to see a fellow 40th owner get banged up, glad your ok. So your car is going to be gone for quite some time. I was in an accident earlier this year with my 40th ( check out my thread on here called I GOT HIT HELP), I would say just about the same if not more damage and my car was gone for three weeks, when they originally said it would only be one week. The biggest problem is the parts, especially if you have to get new rims, it takes FOREVER to get 40th rims to be delivered. I would also make sure you check out the paint job when its done, make sure they blend the paint the right color so that it matches the other panels. Its going to be awhile so be patient. FOR ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE posting and calling you out about 30mph, dont listen to them. Apparently we have a bunch of know it alls on this forum ( yea im calling u guys out)......hitting any type of object at 30mph can cause substantial damage to a car, especially a car with plastic parts........good luck and let me know if you have any questions

...people under-estimate what 30-40mph can do to a car if you hit something away from the front/rear bumpers. Its amazing.
