Default Got rear ended and i need help urgently from you guys with XHD rear bumpers

So heres the deal. I was rear ended yesterday at a dead stop by a Toyota Camry. I just got my XHD rear bumper tweaked and perfectly aligned this past Monday. (needless to say i was ready to bust some skulls ) The bumper took the hit like a champ, but the gaps under the fenders seem a little bit wider, and the space between the bumper and tow hitch looks like it opened up some.

I was hoping you guys with XHD bumpers can take some pictures of your gaps to verify to myself, and the claims adjuster, that I may have twisted my rear crossmember.

Just my luck, my phone was broken so i had to run to a gas station to buy a disposable camera, in 116 degree heat. I will post some pictures of the carnage soon as i have them developed. (The Camry got f**ked up)

Sorry to hear about this man....depending on what people come back with, might firmly make me a believer in some new bumps....only problem is finding ones I like.

Sorry to hear about that bumper and your bad luck!

Especially sorry to hear about your sore neck and back (hint)

But in all seriousness you will likely be feeling it in a few days so don't sign any releases.

Guessing it might be too late, but here are the ones I have on my phone. I'm not sure if they'd work, but I can take better ones tomorrow if you need

This actually helps me a lot. My fender gaps are wider than that now and it looks like my hitch sits lower. I have a feeling my bumper brackets got bent. I cant pull my bumper off to inspect until an adjuster checks it out. The bumper itself is in good shape with the exception of some paint scrapes, but i was worried about my sub frame being bent. Ill get the pics developed after my class tomorrow morning.

I wish i still had my stock bumper on, than his insurance company would be paying for part of my RR bumper

hm...and to think..if i were in AZ, i prob would have been following you and would have rear ended the camry with my stinger!
No kidding man. These ASU drivers are the worse. It took me 20 minutes to drive less than a mile across campus (bumper to bumper at 116 degrees with no windows), and as soon as i escape the traffic, i get whacked.
