Nothing really extreme, but:
* gash in paint on bumper
* scrapes along front of bumper
* marks of the metal bumper from the truck over the middle of my bumper
* Subaru emblem is still "smooth" but inside it has cracks
* paint/clear coat spider-webbing/lifting (getting bumpy I guess) near driver-side headlight
* driver-side fender and bumper gap starting to sag and you can see through to the clips/inside
* black rubber that separates the hood and bumper very clearly has been pushed in. evidenced by if you put your fingers on it from the passenger-side and slowly slide them over to the driver-side the black rubber is pinched and begins to go further down, if that makes sense, so the gap between bumper and hood doesn't have the rubber to keep the edges from hitting if they ever get close again
The hood itself I haven't been able to visually see any damage, but it clearly buckles in the video, so I'll look to have that replaced due to structural integrity.
So mostly cosmetic. But given the force, the fact that my car was pushed back a few inches, and the hood buckling plus damage listed I need to get some stuff looked at. I'll probably have them inspect the engine bay and area behind the bumper, like radiator support, etc. I'll ask to get the bumper replaced as well since the car's only 2 years new, so I don't want to deal with having to fix it and always have a not 100% clean bumper like it was before the accident.
