DAAAAAMMMNNNN! 
That sucks so bad 
what are you gonna do now? That car is probably totaled with the frame damage you incurred.

the car wasnt leaking anything....it was pushed in from the front but it didnt hit nothing we have a big gap from front to the engineso the radiator is really close to the headers but everthing is still running...i drove it home (about 10 miles) and had no problem at all...ive been working so i havent had a chance to actually look at it..ima check it out today see what everything looks like..i post more pictures up tonight

im not sure about the speed...
about 2 seconds before i hit that turn my abs light came on and then as i applied the brake pedal like i did for every other turn i slid towwards the outside and went into bushes then into a light post.... there was only one skid mark so im assuming one tire locked up

I misread what you said at first. I was thinking your rear end came out due to left foot braking, but it sounds more like understeer after I reread it.
Understeer---left foot brake or release the gas slightly and turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction a few degrees (straighten it a little).
Oversteer----hold on, countersteer and throttle out. (if you over-counter it, you'll get snap oversteer)
Best of luck to you.

Go to Certifit! They are so much cheaper than buying dealership parts and they have one in San Diego which does not look too far from you judging by your zip. They have the radiator support you are going to need for $140 PN#ACCL50C0, and the front bumper reinforcement bar for $56.75 PN#ACCL25A0. I bought a whole front end for my old civic off them and the quality is great for the price. The website is www.certifit.com.

Its gonna be hard to get the car to drive the way it used to. I'm pretty sure its gonna need some frame pulling to be 100% right again.

damn that sucks dude...that's a pretty severe mess...glad you're ok though
frame damage is not going to be fun....why are you trying to salvage it? Honestly if it were me I'd have insurance total it out and just cop another cheap cl beater (if you're really stuck on getting another cl) and then just spend money repainting/detailing it. When you're dealing with frame damage like this, the car will never quite be the same again, even with epic hours and time invested
good luck though
