my mom's civic got rear ended once, it didn't even look that bad. got a new bumper and it was all good again. but after that, the trunk started leaking rain and the spare tire well would fill up with water to the point where braking meant flooding the rear seat with rain water -> wet -> moldy.

i wouldn't trust a reconstructed car, especially this specific brz. pretty sure many things are bent out of alignment.
