Default 11K in damage
Got rear ended pretty good on friday. Quarter panels, rear body panel, new F-sport exhuast, and bumper all bent or broken and have to be replaced/fixed. Good thing he had insurence.

My question is how hard would it be to fix a bend in one of the exhaust pieces. Getting new one, but seems a shame to have to throw away a exhaust that only is a month old.

I will be debaging, talked the guy into filling the hole and painting. I'll get to keep the new BP emblems since they are buying to cover the labor cost.

No pics, but from what i saw very small. I didnt notice it. The driver side tail piece was pushed in towards the center.

Lets see some pics of the exhaust. You could also just cut the exhaust and have it rewelded.

How does your insurance company know you have F-sport exhaust instead of stock? Did you tell them when you add your car to insurance?

Yes, be prepared with receipts for additional items or upgrades such as this.
