So this morning on my way to work, im on the highway, rush hour, goin about 80km/h, traffic comes to a stop, a red light ahead around the corner, i slow down and stop. Driver behind me doesnt slow down in time.

Pics dont look bad right?:




Well thats because he car went underneith mine, lifted my rear tires up and did this:







So...... can they replace trunks?

 

wow, but hey, the trunk water drain nipple survived!

 

Tee hee. Nipple.

 

suxs bro but atleast u dont have tinted tails

 

are crushed in trunks repairable

 

if the allighnment of the trunk is messed up ull probly get a new one but if they fixed it it would probly be more bondo then metal on ur trunk

 

I thought that was a vent for the battery.

 

my moms pontiac G5 got rear ended a few weeks ago.

Looks ALMOST identical to your undercarriage damage, she got hit by a early 90's s10. Her trunk is gone though, they quoted her like 4k in damage.

bastard even had the nerve to bust her underglow lol.

 

Hey!!! That happened to me a little over a year ago only a lot worse. Like yours, mine looked like no big deal from outside, but when you opened my trunk the whole thing was raised at least a foot and the whole bottom of the car was completely f'd. Everything was replaced ($7500 later) and it was repaired well so it's like it never even happened. Just took 'em a while to do it.

 

o if ur car was in gear even if the clutch was pushed in while u were hit u could have tranny problems also

 

i drove the car home after, it drove fine. It gets looked at on tuesday and i go to the doctors on tuesday for a possible neck injury, pretty stiff

 

Its doesnt look extremely bad. But it also doesnt look good either. Might be fixable but ull most likely get a new one

 

Just seen your thread pics, deffinately very simular to mine, hell i was even hit by a honda LOL, except it was an accord. Your pics look simular to mine in person, mine looks not as bad in my pics, in person it looks closer to yours, not quite a bad though.


This is this poor cars second accident, was in a front end collision last year, got hit by a ford f150

 

my friend got rear ended in his balt and he drove it the rest of the way to pa and back and then around town for a few days then he got it back from the shop and a few days later his tranny went

 

My trunk got completely crushed in, forced all the way into the back seat. They fixed it, the trunk can be cut out and the weld a new one in. A 83 Buick jumped some railroad tracks and hit me while I was at a stop sign. When he landed his car went under my bumper and pushed the whole trunk forward. I wish I would have kept the pics on my computer. But the repair shop cut out the trunk, welded a new one in. Our frame rails are built to be re-straightened which also had to be done to my car.

 

wow lol

 

I'm getting sick and ******* tired of seeing fellow cobalts getting screwed by the idiots that are on the road. We need to come up with some sort of mod to prevent our rear ends from getting fucked. Maybe an air bag?

 

so your mom has underglow?!?

 

If it was to be repaired in the shop I work at I would probably repair rear bumper cover (doesn't look bad) replace lower facia, looks like the damage went below reinforcement, trunk lid looks to be fine **** even the gaps look ok. Probably repair rear body panel and repair trunk floor (according to what I saw just looking quickly through pics, possible section). only thing that would be painted that you could see from outside would be rear bumper cover. let me know if I'm close

 

Not tryin to thread jack, but I just went through this 2 weeks ago and my car is in the shop now. If you're curious as to what you might be in for, check out my thread https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/pictures-videos-64/cobalts-look-funny-w-no-rear-end-191601/

btw, the estimate to fix my car was $5100.

 

i have an adjuster looking at my car tuesday, we shal see what they say about mine, maybe give me an estimate

 

Lucky you....the adjuster never even came out to see my car. I took it straight to the shop on my own and they evaluated it and sent the estimate via e-mail to my adjuster. I think I might have maybe spoken with this adjuster person on the phone once, but I could be wrong. I've talked to like 5 ppl from state farm so far about so many different things.

 

i was on the phone with my adjuster for like an hour... not like they are on my side, especially when i complain of a sore neck, they do everything to get out of it..

 

ahh yes...my neck had problems before the accident and now all those problems are resurfacing. So, off to the dr it is for me cuz I'm not dealing with it this time. Last time I had to put up with the pain because I was poor, this time her insurance is paying for it so you better bet I'm takin care of my **** this time

 

Werd. I got rearended by someone simply not paying attention whatsoever. $7,300 in damage was done to my car.
