i guess i never posted this. i was rear-ended a few weeks ago. nothing major. i was on the freeway, traffic stopped quickly and the girl behind me didn't stop in time. i kinda knew it was going to happen because i could see her trying to swerve a little to the left. so the car is in the shop finally. here's the initial damage. i love this body shop because they post pictures on their site so you can see the progress every step of the way.

 

hard to see :closeup:
sorry to hear

 

here's what they found with the bumper off.

 

here's the real initial damage

 

thats $hitty...pretty crucial, hope it works out for the best
