Will this be the end
Well, I crashed my 05 350 roadster last Monday I'm wondering if you guys think she'll get wrote off? Here are a couple pics of the damage.

Being written off is one thing, mainly to the insurance company. Whether or not you want to keep your car on the road is another. The big question is how much of that damage is under the sheet metal and behind that wheel.
What did you hit? How fast? Does it otherwise run? Ugly can be fixed. Salvage parts can put you back on the road, needing only paint. Suspension parts can be replaced as well. However, damage to the chassis or to the places where suspension parts mount to will complicate things. Damage to the motor, mounts, transmission, etc. further pile up the costs.
More details, please.

Besides the pics, it would really help if you described what happened in this crash. The pic to the underside of your ZR shows damage to some suspension components and a dent in a structural member. Not a writeoff by itself, but together with the damage to the RF and a new roof, it'll be pricy.
In a round about lost the back end in the gravel sideways into the sign. Hoped the curb damaged front rim. Sign went over the car scratching the hood tearing the roof and scratching the truck lid. Both passenger side tires no longer hold air.

OK- those three sentences made all the difference in assessing the damage. It would be one thing if you skidded off a road and flattened a road sign, but hitting a curb like that will result in significant suspension damage, and combined with the frame, fender, roof and other damage, I'd say there's a high chance your ZR will be totaled by the insurance company.
