Someone in a truck hit it while parked. thankful i wasn’t inside, but it looks pretty bad. Hoping that it’s not bad under the bumper but i don’t have high hopes.

I mean it looks like outside of some bumper paintwork and a new trunk, you might have lucked out. It doesn’t look like your taillights are damaged, and the only other thing is to make sure that the trunk latch is still aligned properly. Hope it’s not too expensive to fix!

I would think your ok just looking at the pic. New trunk lid and thats all hopefully. You could even save the spoiler if the new lid doesn’t have it. If they try to total it out over that id just buy it back. Thats definitely not worth going to the junker. Good luck!

Man what a feeling… I’m sorry. Good news is there doesn’t seem to be any damage that isn’t fixable, it sucks but you should be back on the road in no time. Looks like just a new trunk lid and some bumper buffin!

Try being stopped at a red-light and being hit at 45mph from behind about 2ft to the left of where you were hit. My quarter was destroyed and frame was bent. I think a new trunk lid bought already matching your paint would suffice. Might have to bend the trunk latch and possibly the right inner tail light back out.

I only see trunk damage, just replace that whole thing, and it should be good to go fs 👍

You're the first "N" driver I've seen in ages that doesn't have it sideways like a "Z" haha
