So I got rear ended today, while backing out of a parking space. I was next to a white extended van that blocked my view from looking left of the car. So I go about 1-2 mph in reverse then SLAM. Some older lady and her son slam into me. Nicest people you could ever hit too, very nice people. Anyways, here's some pictures of the damage.
First pic I took of the damage

ill try..

remove plastic rear wheel well liners, there are slide brackets that hold the cover up tight to the body. should have one screw in each of them keeping them from moving. remove the screw and pull on the brackets to get the sides loose. after i would start gutting the truck area closest to the bumper and start searching for big bolts or nuts that might be holding the inner bumper. after that im unsure and would just start looking around top and bottom for whatever else may be holding it.

pull back right side trunk liner to access the 8mm nuts that hold the lamp in

probably need to remove a bunch of trim pieces to remove the wiring harness from the decklid, once the wires are disconnected than remove the main hinge bolts

hope that helps

i may want that bumper cover if you will part with it

I think you'll need a bodyshop to pull the rear back out. it looks like a pretty hard hit.

definately has to go to a body shop. to align and straighten stuff out.

Update. The answer to my question was about $5,000. There was uni body damage, but its repairable. Also, I will ask for the tail light, deck lid, the 3rd brake light, and old emblems back. never know when spare parts will come in handy.
