I was hit at a very soft spot on our cars. It was a 5mph hit yet the damage totaled around $5k. Buckled trunk, wrinkle in quarter panel, dents in frame behind the tail lamp. All OEM parts used for repair.

Looks really clean with the shaved emblems. Can't believe that little hit was 5k in damage. A good reminder why full coverage and good insurance are a necessity on these tanks.
