Default Before and After my accident

So about 7 months ago I got into an accident. A girl without insurance rear ended me going about 40 mph while I was at a complete stop. Luckily my insurance covered most of the damage. So After 5 months of being in the shop here she is. But first ill post pics of how she looked before the accident.







Here she is at the time of the accident







Here she is NOW! (with an interior update)







More pics on bottom..Scroll down but brace yourself!

true. but my dad said just to fix it anyways since we had it at the shop for a month without paying them for storage so If I decided that I didn't want to fix it I wouldve have to pay them about 1k for storage fees.

does the car feel any different going around curves ?
I personally wouldn't repair that car for my own use , if you were going to sell it then why not.

Car feels the same. Doesnt squeek as much as it did before. I was worried that it would drive differently but it didnt. Takes turns with ease.

Well the only other rear shot i have of my hatch is this



But everything is lined up pretty nicely. The shop did a damn good job on the body work but I wish they did a better job on the paint.

This is the only rear shot I have of it after the accident. This might give you an idea of how it lines up.
