Well... it finally happened

After all those accident threads, I guess it was bound to happen to me as well, so I got into a little fender bender, slipped on some ice, and rear ended someone going 20-25 MPH, wasn't bad, his car had a dent, my car got the raw end of the deal since I have no absorber... I'm just worried whether my frame got damaged, because there is a gap between my left fender and my hood and when I popped the hood it squeeked, as well as when I open my door fully... here are some pics guys, u think its just the fender thats out of alignment?

I'm suprised you were able to get around with that lip in all the snow Buffalo has been getting! Sorry about the accident too man, why didn't you have a bumper absorber though?

doesnt look to bad. More than likely the bumper and certain parts are just bent causing it to create gaps etc.

new bumper and you should be back to normal, so it seems.

That's not too bad - new bumper cover and you should be fine (provided there is no frame damage, which is hard to tell)

And please get an absorber this time

Dats sucks.
I pretty much got in the same situation as you (my bumper didn't crack though) anyways there shouldn't be a damage to the frame, don't worry about gap between fender and hood thats because your bumper pushed a fender and bent it a little as soon as you replace it it'll be all good.
Well at least you can try new set of bumper lenses(tinted may be)
Good luck on repair

thats what I was thinkin, maybe I should get a black corners, but the reason why I don't have an absorber is because it didn't come with one, I've been trying to find one but no luck... and then this happened, thanks guys
