MWC K-member Takes a beating

I'd like to see the K member, the radiator damage, and where the shocks mount up to on the car and on the a arms.
The headers I know what they look like I had my junk on the bumper and pretty high on a couple other occasions... that's old hat.
How are the front 1/4's lining up too after that little event.. did you notice if the gaps changed at all?

I don't have any after pictures I have been busy with work and haven't been out to the car. The only shot I have if the front suspension is this pic during assembly.
The front quarters look the same as they did before, the front bumper and hood still fit as they did before. The car steers perfectly straight as it did before the event.
Here is the radiator after it was fixed. This is the lower corner where it bent up and tore the bottom core. The bottom plate was never welded to the edge from the factory on this radiator. The damage wasn't as bad but we had to cut it out to weld the bottom of the tank.
No video from the GoPro unfortunately it was not on

How many times do we have to say there wasn't any so there is nothing to show. The front suspension is exactly how it was the day we bolted it on the car. K-Member is fine, upper and lower control arms are fine, spindles are fine, shocks are fine, spindle mount hubs and brakes are fine, the rack is fine, the wheels and tires are fine. The car drives perfectly straight and the ride height, castor, camber and toe is exactly the same as it was the day we set up the front end.

I think you need to explain it one more time, because it simply cant be true. Only BMR, UMI, Mad Man, (insert some other name here) can make strong and/or light parts. Since it not from any of them it must actually be destroyed and you guys are all lying!
