totaled?
there was a braket with wiring and plumbing and a plastic jar of red fluid that was ripped out the engine bay and came out where the rim and tire are all messed up. the motors still looks straight but who knows. no airbags deployed but the SRS indicator light came on, so the insurance said they malfuctioned, after initial impact car turned off, key stuck in ignition and stuck in gear. all lights on the ACD unit were on solid.
missed the deer, but hit gravel shot me across the other lane into gaurd rail and spun 2 times coming to a stop going the opposite way. eveyone is ok just me the driver and 1 other person in the car just sore.

The SRS light is probably on because one of the crash sensors is right behind the headlight. That probably is or shorted disconnected.
The red fluid is probably the ACD fluid or the power steering fluid.
Glad to hear everyone is OK.

I did something like that maybe 5 years ago or so. Going around a blind corner, swerved to avoid a deer, hit a bunch of gravel, spun and hit the guard rail. In my case it was repairable. I didn't have as much damage though.
As far as it being totalled or not, really cant say just from the pics. It certainly is repairable, but that looks like a lot of labor. If I had to guess, I would guess that it is totalled.
I would also recommend that you push to have it totalled, after a collision like that, it will never feel the same. I am an autobody technician so I do have some experience with stuff like this.
Good luck with whatever happens, and remember the most important thing is that everyone is ok.

Had a similar experience with my evo (check the link) but yours is alot worse and my damage was 10k. I would say yours is totaled.
