MY WRX got Hit Pics inside
Here is some pics. I got rearended pretty good. Just want anyone's opinion on the damages? I have only had the car for 3 months and now this happened. I guess I am more concerned about frame damage above anything else. any tips on what to look for. I will post some pics to see if you guys can come up with anything.

Damaged side, hser is where I was worried if something got slightly shifted, all the white stuff on the car is a bunch of ashes from the fire going on here in San Diego...

I'd say no frame damage, but take it to a shop to get an estimate. Just curious, but if you got rearended, how did that little side dent get there? Hope you're ok man.

dude that blows. it sucks driving your car crashed up. mine got hit in the front drivers side and I havent had time to take it to the shop...1 month driving around town, people think you're a bad driver cause your ish is crashed...its too bad that so many people dont pay attention when they drive or drive too close. I've been hit 5 times within the last 2 years, thankfully only one of those times was with my rex.

Most likely it's just sheetmetal damage from the quarter panel buckling but it will have to be checked on a frame machine to know for sure.
Obviously you'll need a new trunk lid and bumper cover. The quarter panel should be repairable although that's a tricky area. It's generally better to repair if possible rather than replace due to the amount of cutting and welding involved to change the quarter.
The bumper should be removed to check for visible damage underneath (bumper support, rails). Empty out the trunk and pull all the carpet/trim to check for buckling of the trunk floor.
