AH! Ugh. On the good note, it looks like nothing else besides the quarter panel was damaged. Hope it;s a painless fast repair with no stupid insurance issues.

I have a similar dent on my green one, but seriously a dent on the quarter panel is not good ever. the panel will most likely be worked on instead of being cut out, which means the result will depend entirely on the experience and patience of the person who takes the time to straighten/pull it, and it still may need filler to smooth it out.
But yeah, it doesnt look too bad, but dont try and pop it out yourself because it will make more creases

Looks like the summertime curse is once again hitting in full circle. Sorry to see the damage to the Lex. Doesn't look too bad, but as stated before, make sure you find a VERY GOOD bodyshop that will take the time to either cut the panel and replace or has the patience/experience necessary to straighten out that rear panel properly. Getting hit in the rear panel is never a good thing. Once the work is done inspect that section of the rear as carefully as you inspected that jerk chicken on the grill. LOL!!!!

I was gonna sell my other SC300.. I dont think I'll do that now. Once I get my girl back I'm going to do my best not to drive her to work... If it aint the damn street tearing me up.. it's the non-drivers you panic about!
I just want her fixed!!!
