I just finished repainting and reinstalling the bumpers last weekend. So much for being done that project. Sorry about the lousy photo quality but it was dark when I took this last night after getting hit. I can't open the hatch as the edge of the bumper was pushed up against it.

I think everything looks ok underneath, but is there anything specific I should look for?

Does not look like it should have caused any unidody damage. The stock bumpers are not very strong and bend easily even with a light hit. The bumper is easy to remove by taking out 8 15mm bolts that hold it to the body. Use some PB Blaster to soak the bolts a few times before trying to remove though. They have a habit of getting a little rusty with age and will break with to much force.

Yep, had the bumper off last week to repaint it and clean up rust and the bolts were a bit of a pain. I ended up buying new speed nuts after breaking a couple of them.

Lucky I got the bumper back on before getting hit last night. I am still torqued off about having to chase down the other driver as she tried to make a run for it... always makes for a great evening .
