    As the title says I got rear ended yesterday, guy driving a flashy g35 cruised right into me going probably 10 mph or so. I heard a crunch, but got out of the car and saw no damage to either car whatsoever. Checked the bumper brackets and under the bumper and it looks good as new. His car looked untouched as well oddly enough... Is there anything I should do past what I can visually inspect?? My guess is that the crunch was the support foam of his bumper, the hit didnt jolt me at all, just rocked the car an inch or two forward.


    thanks everyone!

    Glad no one got hurt. Cab to bed gap and bedside lineup sounds like only thing to look at.

    thanks, took it to a yota collision center to have someone look it over, he found that there is a crack in the bumper bracket that I hadn't noticed, but thinks it occurred before the accident... It's strange that the bracket is perfectly straight despite the crack, I would've thought it would bend rather than crack
