Any pics of the left rear 1/4 panel? I kind of want to see how they go about repairing that. Or are they using a new 1/4 panel?

No pics - these photos came from Geico. They are going to replace the panel. They cut it out and weld in a new one. Saw it on another car that was in the body shop when I took mine in.

I assume it is out so they can work on the trunk. I guess I'll find out if they give me the car back with a non tinted rear window.

I found the pics on the status page of Geico - when I went to find the final estimate.

Sorta of cool to see, but unerving as well.

I hate to point this out but there is still pieces of glass around the opening of
the back window. It must have been broken sometime after the accident.

Now I'm scared to drive my IS. Maybe I'll just drive my 4Runner until hunting season is over.
