you need to get a new subframe, fixable but pretty pricey

Oh my god, goodluck man you sound pretty sad don't worry that's life man. I beleive the rear subframe may be replacable on some cars, not sure on our civics though.

thx for all the input, i think im going to just beat the metal back and weld it back to normal or as close as i can get. then throw an asr subframe brace on it to hold it until i can get rid of it.....
and i wrecked my car driving around 100 mph, i lost control hit a curb flew up in the air and a sign hit my car leveling it out and keeping it from rolling.... luckily im still alive but my car also looks like hell now.... and i just a 99 conv done like 2 weeks ago......................

Honestly, that may not be worth the fix.

There may be damage that is impossible or difficult to see. Part the car out and buy a new one. Buying a car with the same chassis will ensure all your purchased parts will be transferable. And even if you don't most of it will fit anyways...Honda parts fit like Lego.

Good luck
