So me and the family were sitting in traffic waiting for a light to turn green. As soon as it changed, the lady behind us hit us. Didn't seem like it was going to be too bad until i saw the damage. Im assuming its not totaled but I cant really tell how bad it is under the bumper cover.

The dark pics really dont show the damage very well so Ill take some more tomorrow. From what I can tell, the bumper is obviously trash, the trunk is pretty messed up. Both tail lights are broken(not the lens but the clips behind). The rear quarters don't look messed up but I really cant tell right now.
Claim is filed and I should hear back from her insurance tomorrow. Wish me luck.

New Pics

That sucks! Imo there is no way they can total it, but depends on the trunk. Take some shots with the lid up if you can.

Everyone ok?

Yea, everyone is fine. I haven't even opened the trunk yet because Im afraid it will not close back and I only have this car to drive to work tomorrow.

And the only thing wrong with her car, which happens to be a 2007 Corolla S, was the front lip on both sides was popped out of place.

dam bro sorry to hear that. i got my old oem tail lights that i upgraded to LED so if you want them i can give you a better price than dealer! but im sure insurance probally cover it

No way that's totaled. Luckily it's not too bad actually. Easy fixer. You really should come out fine as long as her insurance is valid!

torchedbox · 02-15-2011, 06:33 PM

Yea her insurance is good. We are both military members and she has USAA insurance.

***Zembonez*** · 02-15-2011, 06:36 PM

You should be all good!

Not too bad of a damage. New trunk, new set of tail lights (should ask your body shop to order the led as a replacement, OEM costs 230 a side, for that price, you can get a pair of the led, so money in your pocket. And led look better, I did mine last time when a guy hit me at the stop sign.) new bumper, new rear lip if applicable.

creslayer · 02-15-2011, 06:43 PM

haha im selling mine 100$ shipped my oem tail lights, but yea leds look better and only 160+

***SaltySteve*** · 02-15-2011, 07:53 PM

That sucks but I'm glad you and your family are ok.

***SuperchargedMR2*** · 02-15-2011, 08:18 PM

Glad that everyone is okay. USAA is great insurance, I have it too.

New pics of inside the trunk.

Luckily everybody nobody got hurt. Doesn't look like its totaled from the picture, but maybe the frame got bent. Simple replacement of the trunk lid, bumper cover, and rear lip. Doesn't look like the tail lights got damaged.

Keep us posted on whats happening.

Tail light lenses are fine but all of the clips are broken off of the housing.
