well i ordered 2 oem electric blue paint pens with clear coat before this happened, and i should be recieveing them tomorrow. hopefully this can be enough to cover all the scratches. some of the scratches are too deep though, like it looks black after removing the silver paint (hit my old silver oz) , and the bumper is kinda pushed in at the corner where it meets the quarter panel and tailight, but that isnt too noticeable unless compared to the other side... heres better pics
im not too worried about the white looking scratches, thats just paint of the other car, im worried about the black, i wonder if those pens can fix that
checkout the separation between the bumper and the quarter panel compared to the other side(perfect side)

Depending on your comprehensive deductible, you may want to report it to the insurance. Mine's only $100, and claims under $1,000 won't affect your premiums. (At least, in my case.) At any rate, you'd only have to pay $100. Just a thought.

I forgot to add, my crash beam was modified and painted so nicely/cleanly that I would seriously be shocked if an adjuster said anything if I was ever rear-ended.
