    i'm assuming i got backed into, because i didnt get into an accident and my bumper is all messed up. But i cant really judge the extent of the damage. Local mechanic wants $100 just to look at the car!

    This is really something i could do myself though, with a little help from you guys. Would anyone mind taking close up pictures (perhaps brake it up into three different sections, the left side, the middle, and the right) of their bumper on any 2006 toyota prius. I want to compare it to the way mine looks. But truly close up, relativly high resolution picutres of a prius bumper are suprisingly rare on the interweb :-P.

    Also, my brother noticed this, you can kind of shake the side flaps near the rear tire. Really isnt much, but does this happen to anyone else when they apply a considerable force to that flap? (Don't go braking your car :-p). I think this is more of a matter of him muscling that, as the accident looks fairly minor and i dont think it would have done something like that. It was probably built like that.
