just found out yesterday the body shop is ordering parts for my 2015 RS.basically a new drivers side and rear bumper.im glad its not a total,after being pushed sideways at 60 mph by a semi i dont feel as safe in my wifes honda.they might find more once they take it apart ...already estimated at 9k including paint.oddly enough the front fender is still mint,not even a scratch...

Nice if just body pannel damage. Lucky you’re ok after being involved with a semi

How’d it happen?

i was cruising along about 6o in the 3rd lane on the right.truck with no trailer tries to pass on my left side.he swerves,hit the drivers side1/4 panel and next thing i know im being pushed sideways down the road at 60 mph.did i mention this road(highway 60 in tampa,fl.) is six lanes wide in each direction? he pushes me on his bumper on my drivers side for about 15 seconds.i could have touched his grill through my broken window.then he hits the brakes,my car does a 180 and skates through the other two traffic lanes backwards and into a bunch of palmetto bushes in the median.what a ride that was,just one i never want to do again.believe it or not other tha a sore neck for a day after i was not hurt.

Tank

That's a Police maneuver they use to knock out cars they are chasing.
Seems to work every time

Are you going to the shop to check up and take some pics?
I would be pretty anal on how they are doing the repair.

Mostly I just wanna see pics of the resurrection.
