Just got rear ended, need ideas

[yamatoii]

just got rear ended by this lady in a Jetta this morning while driving my gf to sko.... reason why i think they shud make a law that forbids women from driving during the day time. anyways here are some pictures i took for my rear bumper. I donno if i should get a new bumper or not. there is a slight dent or crack from the first picture. other than that are just small paint scratches. its not as huge, but an accident is an accident. anyways i also need some recs for good reliable bodyshops in San Diego as i go to UCSD and its almost Finals week

try to

1. convince the opposing party's insurance that your exhaust is fucked up
2. make them pay for it.
3. keep the money
4. ????
5. Profit

don't forget about that lower-back injury.

I'd suggest:

Getting your bumper repainted and moving on.

You're not going to convince anyone to replace anything... do the honest thing and just get your car back to how it was before the accident... just make sure it gets done right.

IIRC if the damage reported is over $750 you'll be required to file an SR-1 with the DMV and that could knick your resell value

which is what im doing right now.... i honestly don have the kinda time or patience to start a scam on people..... its just simply not worth it, also morally unacceptable, cuz it will come back to yourself some day. ....hahahah...... on the other note : my evil lil self wants a new DTM bumper XD!!!
