any collision guys have any idea what the damage is?


the trunk appears fine and opens and closes. no lights were broken and the rear quarters are good.

just curious what all the damage could be.

 

looks like you just got tapped? and probably cracked because the fact it's cold out.
doubt theres any frame damage.
maybe 500 or so at the most at a body shop.

 

Looks like you're getting an aftermarket rear bumper!

 

Just looks like you need a bumper cover and impact absorber. I cant recall the prices off the top of my head but I figure it about $500 - 600 total. Maybe you try and haggle for a SS bumper?
Sucks that you got rear ended tho..

 

same things just happened to my friends 08 GTI. damage looks identical.

sucks though. but shibito is right, now you have an excuse to get something aftermarket

 

Yeah man, you'll be getting a new rear cover, and possibly a new energy absorber. Other than that, you'll be fine. I see people suggesting $500-$600. That might be a little low... at least where I work. lol

But that is hardly something to worry about. Small repair.

 

I said 500-600 just for parts, GM Parts Direct has the absorber at 105 and the cover at 490. I didn't include labour or paint which probably should have lol so its gonna be more. But thats what insurance is for, unless you have a high deductible....

 

well its gonna be the other persons insurance that pays. and the hit was enough to knock me thru an intersection, i just got lucky no other cars were coming.
