Your right Steve - I have absolutely no complaints regarding how the car did in the accident. The bumper and all the underside components did their job and protected the car and the occupant. I used to be really obsessed with keeping the car all original and so forth but after seeing how well my '01 Focus got repaired after a fender-bender, I don't worry about it any more.

I am just really glad I was in the '06 which has the black plastic cover and not the '05 which has the painted bumper cover.
