let your bumper do its job... and their crumple zone it's job.

If they hit me hard enough to bend sheetmetal I want a new car anyway, not some halfass repair with new patch panels and body work. Soooo moot point, cause their insurance is paying since they're at fault. I cant really think of any vehicle that would be worth replacing the frame on without totalling out the vehicle.
