On my rear-end hit, the wheels wells buckled a tiny bit and both quarter panels were pushed in to where you could see the gaps of the rear door were off and there was no frame damage.

It doesnt look like it but in the trunk the spare tire is in the air lol so its what you cant see that kills it plus my trunk doesnt work right and no lights or anything light up in there so i dunno ...

Doesn't look bad at all. The pictures that were 1st posted it looked like a totaled but not with the 2nd set. Some, very little frame pulling and a new bumper. Few grand to fix, but insurance will give you a nice amount to fix it... so a few upgrades are in the process if you decided to take it to your own body shop.

Dude i always wonder why there's so many Florida drivers in NYC/NJ... seriously why? I just shoveled my IS out of ICE and snow and drove in freezing rain. There isn't a single woman in sight that has distinguishing female characteristics when they wear puffy winter jackets and ugly *** boots. Do you really wanna leave Florida for such a mess of a city? I guarantee the a-hole Cab drivers would have just nailed you just the same once you crossed that NY border. Anyways good luck w/ the repair job/ loaner. I would seriously trade places w/ you in a second despite your damaged IS.
