ohh wow.. that really doesn't look that bad..

i hit this stupid bump on a bridge (the lap joint on the bridge had a good 3-4 inches difference) and was on a curve so ever saw it comming.. the tow hooks bent upward and split the fame open in the same area as you ..

don't have pics of it .. car is still in storage
