Never thought it will be me writing this kind of post...but it happened. Got rear ended on the stoplight by the lady that got rear ended by a van. It was super loud and I though the back of my civic is trashed but I was surprised to see only one indentation on the bumper and a crack. I mean, it's not horrible but you can definitely see it if you look for it. I don't think there's hidden damage to the suspension or anything since even the bumper survived.
Anyhow, got this my insurance, and since I'm not at fault my option would be go ahead and file the claim, pay deductible (which is damn high, 1000$) and then they will replace the bumper at certified body shop and make the guy at fault insurance pay for it. Supposedly I shouldn't be paying anything (with the exception of the deductible which I should get back). With all that said, have anyone had experience with bumper replacement? I've heard that hatchback body parts are quiet often on the back order? what would be the total cost for the repairs you think? thanks for y'alls help
