I had the same almost EXACT same damage. I will give you a tip. When they put the new bumper on, make sure they blend BOTH sides, else one side looks way off from new bumper. I had to take mine back, get a new insurance quote for the work because Toyota didn't have authorization to do both sides. Looks good now but it was a fight. White Out is a hard color to get right. If they fabricate it right, there will be no weld points. You can't even tell on mine. Welcome to the damn my car just depreciated 4K club!

I don't care about depreciation right now because I genuinely believe that I'm keeping it forever. But crap thanks for that tip!! Blend it as in color wise or the bumper sticks out more Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Mine was replaced after someone hit me and you can't even tell. But since then I've gotten my bags and wheels and when I air out I noticed that the side that was replaced sticks out a tad further. Not sure if it was the shop didn't line it up right or it's just super hard to get it the exact same

Quarter panels are non structural and have no impact at all in how the car handles. You could drive around without one and never know the difference.

Did they replace your trunk? Man I'm freaking paranoid. What if they don't seal the trunk right, and it leaks in and it rusts? What if rust grows inside? 2 weeks they said till I get my car back.. is that how long it took yours ? Or is it Guna take a month. They gave me a focus with horrible shake and hesitation when accelerating from 0... it's fucking horrible!! I thought jeeps were bad but this is fucking awful. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

This was $2K. It will be OK. Cars get fixed up just fine from much worse damage than yours.
