some hag rear-ended my new car tonight :madr:
Luckily there were only 2 scuffs and a slight crease in the plastic bumper cover of my car. :hs: Her car didn't fare so well as the whole front bumper cover fell off. Insurance is looking at it next week and hopefully I can get a pre-painted rear bumper cover from the dealer fairly quick.
Checking it twice

Better have the car checked for hidden damage to the stuff under the bumper skin, there could be more than you think going on under there, especially if it was enough of an impact to break her bumper off.

True. My Civic got slightly rear ended back in 1997 and while there was only light damage to the bumper, the whole thing was shifted so it wasnt even up near the quarter panel. Had to get the whole thing replaced for a couple of visible scratches.
