Default Rear ended at a red light!!!!

Sorry no pics yet - but help me out here!

I can probobly do most of the repair myself since tC's dont get paint blended. I looked into the bumper area and the actual bumper is bent under the car a bit, would this be hard to fix? The hatch and tail lights were untouched and looks like the rear quater panels are also untouched. Has anyone done this before? I have taken the rear bumper off a few times and it was not hard.

Any suggestions where i can get bumper supports and bumper shell?

Anyone buy from here? how is paint quality? (I dont except anything less than perfect)

How about having your insurance pay for it (or the other guy's insurance?!)? Even if you have a $500 deductible, that will still be cheaper than what you're going to end up buying.

Don't buy a painted rear bumper. Chances are it'll mismatch what's on your car.

Oh yea theyre paying for it, but i could make alot of money doing it myself.

Took a better look at it, rear quater panel is WARPED! Going to body shop no tC for a week ... another reason i wanted to do it myself.. no one touches my baby!
