What happened? That's heartbreaking. How old is the car?

Man that sucks.

I hope the damage doesn't venture further down the car.

How are the door gaps at the rear?

Looks expensive!

Be interested to hear what a new bumper is going to set you back.
Wonder if you could get the exhaust tips changed over to the straight ones whilst they are doing the bumper? Surely they got damaged ;-)

Damage came to just under $8000. $5000 just for parts.

Wow - not cheap. Sorry to hear that.
How did it happen?
I must admit, I do find the rear bumper of the XR5 pretty flimsy. So even a minor hit is going to shatter it.
