Reviving this thread, so the total damage was ~$5000.

I was shocked.

collision shop said the followings were broken:

-bumper
-Black plastic underside
-impact absorbing syrofoam
-aluminum bar that holds the styrofoam
-right headlight mount
-right headlight
-clear bra for hood, bumper, fender

I just cannot believe that small crack would cause all this. I went to the shop to make sure those were broken, and they were.


edit: it's all fixed now by the way. it's been 2 months since i got my car back. i paid $250 deductible for uninsured motorists. Had to fill out texas blue form to claim that it was not my fault. Still had to pay the difference of $700 to get the OEM bumper, because my insurance co wanted to fix it.
