Spun out!
#12
I see internal damage in the diff, diff bracket gone, at least 2 knuckles broken=gone (thats why you have this crazy camber), upper&lower control arms on the side of impact, dampers damage...btw our control arms do not bend, they brake or crack. You wanna make sure you don't drive around with a cracked lower control arm....
If you are insured, get it done. If note, take 2 weeks off, go from scrap to scrap and change everything that MIGHT be damaged.

Miraculously..... NONE of my rims bent.... I inspected them and they look perfectly round to me, but we'll find out tomorrow.

If the rear took any of the impact you need to check the diff...the axles could have gotten jammed damaging the components inside.
I'd say the easiest, cheapest way to check it would be to get the suspension fixed and try to rotate the rear wheels while they are in the air, listen for any noises, check for excessive play, and also check the axles, make sure they aren't bent and make sure that they don't move in and out of the diff either

Hey man that sucks. But glad you are ok. Anyways, i had similar accident couple months ago, except no damage was made on front, mechanically.
I'm not sure what were the exact parts they have replaced, all I can recall is
suspension, control arms, wheel, rotor, break related stuff and little of that and this.
Mine cost $3200 excluding wheels since i bought them separately, and it was relatively cheaper than other shops. But mine had fender replaced which should cost you good money too.Hope this gives you ballpark number you can expect.
And here's link to some of the pictures you might want to compare to yours.
Good luck!

Based on what you're describing... $15,000 CAD damage to your car, easily.
I hit just my passanger rear wheel at 30 mph and did $9,000 damage to my car (no body damage either, just suspension/exhaust).

I did the same thing once. Do the work yourself. Get OEM parts online. Save yourself a bunch of money. I replaced on driver rear; Axle, wheel, upper and lower control arms, rotor, wheel bushing. Total price was less than $1500.00 It was not that hard. Go to FAQ in under the hood and look under rear CV joint replacement for good reference. Also the parts online stores have schematics of the rear end. The most expensive thing was the rear axle. I probabley did not need it but figuring the force needed to colapse the rear CV joint, I replaced it any way to be safe. The wheel was a remanufactured wheel (they just take out curb rash of old wheels) I found online for $250.00. Can't tell the difference from the stock new wheels. Start with San Leandro Honda online for parts. It usually just took a couple of days for parts delivery. After you are done, take to a shop and get an alignment. Good luck.

i did the same thing once. the tires really are bad in the cold. i was surprised on how i spun out at 15mph in 2nd gear. anyway. in my experience i had no damage. hit the curb under 15mph at 90deg.
if i were you i would report it, sounds like it could get expensive
