Hit a wall... sighhhhh
Long story short I hit a wall earlier tonight and I thought I dented/scratched up the entire passenger side of my car but to my surprise only the front end took damage. My front wheel got rashed BAD, newly painted front bumper scratched, APR lip cracked, fender dented, fender liner and liner under front bumper shredded up, and alignment thrown off to the worst in any car I've driven before. The car still drives fine and there seems to be no other damage but I will have to look under the car tomorrow. I'm pretty bummed right now as I totally love my car and this is my first accident ever (well, except for hitting someone in a parking lot going 3 mph).
Now to the questions I have:
-I know it probably isn't, but does my wheel look repairable to at least some degree?
-How much would it cost to fix my front bumper and APR lip?
-Does it look worth it to go through insurance or should I just try to pick up the needed parts on my own?
-Anyone know of good shops that can fix/repaint my front bumper in the LA/OC area?
I know the damage isn't a huge deal but I've had a bad string of luck these past couple of months and am pretty tight on my budget at the moment. Nothing more sad than seeing a damaged s2000...

Sorry to hear about your loss. 
Was there a police report or anything?
If you go through insurance, you will probably end up having an At-Fault Accident on your drving record, which will increase your insurance premium for 3 years. With the cost of repair, it might be best to pay your ded. and go through insurance though.
Off Topic: Is that front lip molded on? Looks, I mean, looked great.

Do you have an extra wheel or two? My passenger rear was subject to some curb rash as well.
