Try taking off the entire front of the car and check for damage using a long, flat object (like a mudding knife) to see if the chassis is still flat in that area.

I personally am interested to see if the cars that haven't broke are still showing signs of fatigue in the carbon fiber.
You would think that if the top of the chassis blisters slightly as the screw head is pulling through, the suspension block would not sit flat on the surface prior to full failure. I've checked all my blocks and they are solid and remain flush with the chassis. I'm thinking that the whole failure happens at the moment of significant impact.
