Default Fawk me

I got rear ended today by a girl in a Ford Escape. Naturally the only thing wrong with her car is a bent license plate frame. I, on the other hand, need a new rear bumper, taillight and interior piece that cracked. Luckily it missed the exhaust system and all metal. Picture to come.

Well, how about a shiny new carbon rear diffuser! And how about a carbon rear bumper? (carbon to bada$$ ratio)

=( I know how that is. At least her insurance is covering it, right? Thank goodness for no unibody damage!

No frame structural damage. She couldn't have been going more than 5 mph when she hit me, so just a nice dented bumper.

Insurance will cover it if needed, they may just give me the money to fix it.

How much extra does the insurance company charge to cover a body kit?

****, the rear quarter is damaged also. The estimate just sky-rocketed to above $3,000, not including the "unseen" damage.
