If he set the side impact airbags off, what do you think the chances are that it's only the trim pieces that are damaged and not the frame itself?

There is no "frame".
Cut-n-weld.
Every single piece of metal on this car can be replaced.

The rocker/sill will be cut and welded.
The whole thing should be put on a laser frame machine, but its probably still straight.
A-pillar will require conventional bodywork.
Is there any damage (even minor) to the fender or back door?
