Default My cars recovery

It's been a while since I've posted anything about my car. I've done quite a bit to it the past year. As of right now unfortunately I'm waiting for my vehicle to get out of the shop. I was rear ended by a Prius while sitting at a stop light after work and I never heard it coming. Yeah stupid joke, oh well. lol. It's been a month now and they finally have all the parts and are making pretty good progress. I should have it by the end of this week. It seems that it is actually going to work out for the better as well. I get to upgrade my rear bumper to the GT/CS one. It should work perfectly with the direction I'm going on my car. I'll be sure to post up pictures once I get my car back to show off everything I've done. Until then here are some of the accident and the repair progress up to today.

Not that it matters, just wondering how much damage was done on the Prius?

Doesn't look like its to bad by the pictures. It probably needs a new hood and bumper I'm guessing.

It's still in the shop. As of Friday they had started spraying the welds with primer. I'll get a new set of pictures from them today and post up where the progress is. The Prius didn't seem to bad but no telling how much underneath got bent up. There was a lot more damage to mine than it looked like.

Let me guess, the Prius's gas pedal got stuck! LOL
Look forward to seeing pics with the new bumper installed.

With as slow as prius drivers drive, I'm surprised they didn't have enough time to stop!? Must've been texting....

Hidden damage sucks!
