... they were supprised how did it crumpled and bent like that, the body shop said its probably because it was on the side

Sorry the read about you accident.

The reason why your car is so badly damaged is due to safty reasons, it's designed that way.

The front is very "soft" so that it can absorbe energy.

The car takes the hit, not the driver nor the passangers!

Got, ACS Roof Spoiler, but not installed..

i understand that perfectly... and i must admit that during the impact my car absorbed over 90% of the impact, so much that i didnt feel the impact... and im sure that if it was a strong impact the crumble zones would reach limits and then hold though.. but still i was supprised to see that type of heavy damage... even pinguhk noticed that with all that bend metal the glass on the head light didnt break... or even the ABS plastic of the grill it should be said that the grill is the 80$ grill of ebay.. so not that much of quality espically those that broke its clips during the install...
