N O O O O!!!!!!! Not me....not now!
It was just another day home from work on the freeway and I slow down as I approach a bottle neck and next thing I know...........................................
.........................BOOOOM!!!!
Good thing I didn't install my rear GFX...that's the only thing positive I can think of right now. They were at fault but such bad luck and really bad timing too since I registered my car for EOS and it's just 3 weeks away.
I don't know if my car will be ready by then.....

What a bad timing! Hope the shop can give u a speedy repair. do a search, there a few recommended shops in the area.
It shouldnt be too bad of a fix... if no framing damage hopefully its jsut to have the bumper replaced... if u have framing damage, that might take a few weeks at a regular shop. especially when u ahve to deal with insurance.
maybe flipside909 will read this and maybe he can tell u what kind of damage ur car took... or u know already..
goodluck

Thanks everyone. Now that the shock is somewhat over, I feel a lil better. I guess it can always be worse.

CthruIS350, thank you very much for your input. The van was going probably 15 MPH tops at point of impact and from what I see, I don't think there is any framing damage. Some pretty deep scrapes on the left side and you can see that hole which cracked into my bumper.
Questions:
From what you see, do you guys think the current bumper can be resurfaced and painted or will I need a completely new bumper? Should I look for a good body shop or does Lexus dealerships do body work/replacement?
