If you think you have damage now, wait till someone hits you in the rear with a roll pan instead of a bumper! OUCH [B)]
You can say that again! I got a "love tap" [xx(] into my rear bumper on the way to to Las Vegas that ended up costing over $3,000. [B)] If I had a rollpan instead of the stock bumper I'm sure the rear hatch glass would have been broken, and the impact might have been enough to torque the body enough to make the car un-driveable. With the bumper still in place there was enough "crunchable" bits that it ate up the bulk of the damage before it got to the more vital bits of the car.

A roll pan looks very cool but when it gets hit there is no protection. With a little over 200 miles on my GT an old woman backed into my GT and luckily there was no damage. If I'd had a roll pan there would have been. Sometimes looking cool isn't worth it because of other drivers.
