This is what happened

I let my buddy drive my car. Well he went over a curb head on at about 40mph i think. Well now it looks like the front wheels arnt centered in the wheels wells they looked pushed back. I havent got under the car to look at it cause im dreding it. I want to know how bad it could be and what steps to take to fix it or if my car is just fucked up!!! and help would be great.

Replace the bad parts.

More than likely, it is at least a lower control arm. Maybe bent sway bar if car is equipped with one.
Maybe have been knuckle, tie rod, axle etc.

Should ask him what happened as it may help to figure out what to replace the first time around. Meaning did just the lower part of the tire hit, or did maybe the whole center of the wheel go into something (meaning probably more damage like knuckle or A arm, etc).

At the end, 100% get an alignment to make sure all is good.
