So yesterday I went on my lunch break and got rear ended by a lady in a 96' Dodge Voyager MiniVan. There was no damage to her van whatsoever.... my car got framed, literally.
Here is a pic of the damage:

It's not that bad, but there is several indentions/creases along the body lines of the bumper where she hit me. I go in to get viewed by the adjuster today at 3pm. Hopefully I can get a new bumper.(MTech

I won't be satisfied with just a new paintjob with patchwork.

You rear end looks as if you got Stamped like a Cow gets stamped on its rear.
I'm glad you looking at it at the bright side. Sell your previous bumper (if it's not a lease) and get the Mtech. That way you won't be paying the additional fee (if any).

Just refuse to use one the preferred shops under the insurance company and the adjuster will cut you a check for the "market rate" collision repair. Then take those funds and put them towards a new M-Tech bumper and paint. Think of it as an unplanned but welcomed upgrade

Yeah, just tell the adjuster from the other persons insurance that you want to cash out and they will cut you a check. Use that money to upgrade the bumper with one of trinity's mtech bumper.
