Totally Totalled

So my insurance peeps called me today, regarding my car that was rolled last week. They're going to total it out. Really?!?!  I know it rolled, but it really wasn't that bad. All the doors open and close fine (no frame damage). The roof -- and even the sunroof and antenna -- are in perfect order. Windshield: fine.

Is anyone familiar enough with this stuff to tell me if this sounds legit?  It's an 05 Equinox. They would have to replace the driver's side door, fender, and grill stuff. I'm thinking, "Replace the door, I'll take care of the grill/fender stuff with some awesome zebra print duct tape!"  The car, including the windshield wipers, were still running after the flip, so it works, mechanically.

Here's a few photos of my son's work:

Here is the front. There is a silver plastic strip that is popped off the front. (Headlights are fine and still working). Grill a little smushy.


Closer view of damage. Honestly, I'm fine with the crinkled fender/hood. 


Door damage and missing side-view mirror:



Passenger side: Perfecto!!!


It's really not as bad as it looks:





Hey look! I found the side-view mirror. It was just relocated to the inside. A little Gorilla Glue, and I'm good!


Standing on the door jam, taking pics of the roof. Sunroof is unscathed.



And here's Mr. Crash himeself.. The U of M hat was a "gift" from his aunt & uncle. (Mr. Crash attends Michigan State, hence, the joke). We'll just refer to this as his dunce cap:
