Default Yes...

There could be some damage to the internal parts of the bumper depending on how fast it was. I've seen accidents at "7 MPH" but with broken clips and guides on the inside of the bumper.

thing more or less, (front bumper tho)...no damage.

those rubber like bumpers.

Default Right..I think you're fine, but on second thought, Ben's the king of this "type of stuff."

He knows if anyone does... ;-)

Any advice Ben? Do you think it's worth it for Miah to go thru the trouble to get things checked out?

I tried moving it and it feels just as solid as before. No cracks underneath.

check the sides as well...crumple zones tend to give on rear enders.

Default OT but, I got rearended last year by someone that ABSOLUTELY didn't want me calling...

the cops, which wasn't that big of a deal cause the only damage was a very faint paint scratch that could easily be covered up. HOWEVER he was freaking out so bad that he insisted he give me cash on the spot, so with an outstretched hand i gladly took the $800 cash that he gave me. He must have been illegal or had a warrant out for him, but he carried a lot of cash and had no problem giving me a lot of it.

Hope your car turns out well.
