The upper rails that support the tops of the fenders and headlights may be tweaked but the lower "frame" rails should be fine. All of the structure that makes up the radiator support is trashed. That's a lot of stuff. They haven't been one piece units in a long time.
What we see here is what I described. We've got a SRT-6 in the shop now but it was hit in the rear.
We're a Mercedes dealer body shop but we work on just about anything from time to time.
