Angry Got rear-ended

I was at the stoplight in front of the Nimitz business center when I got rear-ended and also slammed into the car in front of me. Heres some pics from the scene.

Damn, that sucks. Everytime I'm at a stoplight and I see a car coming from behind pretty fast, I always wonder if this is the one. Is this the time I get hit from behind. Luckily it doesn't look too bad from the pictures. Could've been worse. Could've ended up under a lifted trucks bumper instead of hitting that Mustang in front of you.

Sorry to hear about the accident. It doesn't look too bad at all though. It is times like this when I personally take the time to make the car better than when it was before. Maybe a lip kit or body kit Anyway, good luck on the repair. I recommend Joel at JL Autobody Works.

Hey looks like the same kind of damage as me!!! LOL i know it blows man. Just remember that whatever shop u take it to. have them check out and realign/straighten out your headlights if need be.. If they dont the front bumper wont align correctly and it will leave a very noticable gap underneath the housing. Hope all goes well.
