Yeah, take a step back and ask your girlfriend to get out of the shot so we can see the entire back.

Good luck man!

So overall is it fixable and how much is it going to be(estimate)?


Havent been driving it since the accident, just wondering if I will get pulled over because of my tail light? am I allowed to drive during the day only? Not quite sure.

you can be pulled over day or night with a broken tail light/brake light.

as a whole, the damage doesnt look all that bad. id take it to your local body shop to get an estimate.

yea thats very fixable

I got into an accident with my V6 when some soccer mom ran a redlight, cost her insurance copy 12k to fix. I kinda wish they totaled it IMO but she drive fine.
