Ohh no!!!!! What happens when you pass 500 cars a day and they see your plates and what kinda car you drive? Not a big deal.

No worse than if you happened to see their car in a parking lot. License plate numbers are not very "personal"

Back on topic. I'm with everyone else. May as well have a pro look at it just to make sure. I would hate to run into issues down the line.

Definitely thoroughly inspect the tailgate too for any sign of wrinkling. It may be worthwhile to remove the tire for that or the body shop can check it out. Even the slightest trace of damage should be brought to the attention of the honda driver so it can be repaired.

These things are actually tin cans. You jut got hit by a smaller tin can. Jeeps actually tend to take a lot more damage than most cars when they run into stuff. It's not uncommon for us to total a Jeep in a minor offset front end accident because it destroys the axle, suspension and frame mounts.

Go look at IIHS crash tests to see how much of a "tank" we're driving.

X2 get it checked out.My wife had the same type of accident and looking at it you could not see the damage til she brought it home when it in fact had put a small dent in the tail gate
