Well that sucks. With what it did to the floor pan of the trunk I'm gonna say they're going to find a whole lot more ****ed up stuff than what meets the eye when they start taking it apart.

I got under the car and checked everything out and suspension seems fine, all rails and supports look normal. I cant see under body panels though so i cant be entirely sure

Oh no!
Whilst the damage looks minimal, who knows what damage may have been done to the rear suspension. Any alignment issues will mean it drives log a dog
Hope it's fixed quickly........and correctly.

Glad you're OK - now would you mind telling us which grade of titanium you used for the rear end? Just messin' - looks like the steel in the trunk pan did a real number on that KIA - didn't expect that - it's apparently a lot stronger than I thought it may be.
Depending on how bad the damage is, consider getting reimbursed for diminished value - you might have enough damage it will show up on a Car Fax.

Im actually on the phone with her insurance company now. The officer wrote her information down incorrectly so that why nothing was showing up. Things are getting straigtened up as i type this so we'll see how things go. Fingers crossed that the damage isnt too bad.

I give up when the count reaches 20 in 10 minutes.
Sorry about that "fender bender"; her car looks like it hit a truck! Good to know the back ends of our Mustangs ar stout!

CCTKing - How is your car coming?
After 3 weeks I finally got her back today.
I replaced the stock GT rear diffuser with the GT500/CS/Boss rear diffuser. The exhaust is Ford Racing and finally, I opted for the Boss/CS front lower fascia with Boss front Splitter. A&B Collision on Staten Island did an unbelievable job. The paint matchup looked perfect. I definately recommend them.

tell her insurance that you would like loss of value ...that is a seperate check they will pay you for the trouble and loss . it's usually 10-20 % of the cost to repair it. who is the insurance company she uses?
