rear bumper hit today :(

Although no big damage was done today... i got pretty mad.. my question though, how tough are the camaro's ass ?? All it has is a little scratch, thats it, but im still afraid it damage something else, one thing i know theres something rattleting in there somewhere, plus the other guy's bumper was all messed up, guys with similar experience how hard you need to get hit on the back for it to mess up something really bad, like i said just a bumper hit...

I was rear ended a couple months ago. It crumpled the bumper just a little bit. The diffuser did it's job and all that needed to be fixed was the bumper and diffuser.

This happened to my car before I even got my plates. Just needed a bumper cover and that was it. Kinda hard to tell tho since you didn't post any pics. The body shop will have to take the bumper cover off to make sure nothing underneath was damaged.

Not lame, I'm totally leading the 'maro charge.

Glad it wasn't that bad.

Other guy with pics, that sucks, get it fixed and don't let her start going down hill. Let's keep all of these nice looking for the next generation to buy when we die and our kids are cleaning our crap out.

The camaro front and rear has a honeycomb of reinforced plastic behind the bumpers to absorb damage the noise you hear may be part of it broken off............

Nice but I figured out what it was...I happen to put my hand under the bumper to see if I could feel something and it was a stupid rock lmfao... my car is lowered so it could just popped in there.. funny though I was just laying there on the ground just saying " wow really " lol
