I love my 03 IS, best car i've had. Don't worry about the accident, just get it fixed. Nothing you can do about it. I remember when i first got mine in 05' someone parked behind me and left thier plate bolts indented into my bumber...i don't think i've ever been so angry in life. But that stuff happens, just be as careful as you can parking ect ect and take car of the vehicle!
