Sucks, but could have been worse. Hang in there and all will be better in time.

everything from the front fenders and forward plus

Well just got my car back from the shop after 5 days(originally was supposed to be 3 days). And it seems to be a pretty good color match. I'll post pics soon so you guys can judge the work for yourselves. I was pretty worried that the color would not match very well since everyone I've spoke to pretty much said that pearl white is a hard color to match. At least I can say I'm very happy right now since I couldn't stand to see my car with the messed up bumper. If there's one thing I can't stand is driving a car with some sort of fender bender.

Just got rear ended by a Pilot at a stoplight earlier today. Here I was thinking that it would never happen to me(boy was I wrong 
) From the looks of things it seems like I might just need a new bumper cover and possibly the foam behind it. I'll be taking the car to the shop either tomorrow or early next week. Luckily I'm not at fault but either way it's just a huge hassle that I would rather not have to deal with.

sup man sorry to hear about your accident. main thing your okay. but it happens your not alone man. heres pics of mines this happened last year august 08. had to replace the bumper, parking assist senors, and exhaust system and under carriage. the body shop that i took it too told me the same about the starfire pearl color, they painted the bumper twice the first time they didnt blend it in, so it was real noticeable so they told me to bring it back and took about a week to get it close to the color and did some blending. looks better then what it was.
1st try, totally noticeable.
2nd try, much closer.
sorry for the big pictures..

HOLY CRAP... Umm isn't that.... somewhat considered a small fraction of a crime or something? Come on now... when someone runs away from a car crash... that just sucks... I hope all goes well and that lady deserves a punishment after all this... GL!
