Well yesterday i was driving and some dumb *** girl in some integra was trying to pass up another car and saw me coming but she keep going well she was maybe 4 cars in front of me going head on. So i start to slow down and then i slam on my breaks and but doing so i got rear ended. But it was nothing it was a girl that i knew and we were good friends. nothing happen to the bumper just a deep scratches from here license place. But now my bumper sags maybe 1' or less how can i fix it? Could it be that the reinforcement bar is bent down? Also would i just be able to get a jack and jack up the rear bumper to see if it bends it back?

Take the bumper off and see for yourself. I wouldn't recommend trying to bend it back into place before seeing if that is actually the problem.

I got rear ended two times in the past, so I know about this. Mine sagged about 1/2 inch though. Yes, you need to replace reinforcement bar and one small metal piece that bolts on to the exhaust hanger area. I have that small metal piece(like new), so let me know if you want to buy it.

So how hard was it to real line everything?
