Got hit today - AARRGHH!!
Well folks, looks like it's my turn with a little bad luck. I got hit today by careless driver in Navigator turning without looking.
Here's the damage...The rear drivers door will not open, the rim seems damaged. You experts out there, it is really as bad as it looks?

Ouch...that sucks.
Looks like body damage is confined mostly to sheet metal so you may have lucked out there as it looks like the point of impact most likely did not cause frame damage. However, if he hit you hard enough to leave such large scuffs and scratches on your wheel, I am willing to bet there are some bent or damaged suspension pieces. Makes sure that when they get the car looked at, they check the suspension and make sure to get an alignment done as part of the repairs.

Ouch! My RDX is in the shop right now. Fender needs to be replaced and so does the whole bumper. You need to look close to see my damage but it rings in at $1200. I feel for you, man do I. You'll get all fixed up new, but it all just sicks anyway on a new car.

Can anyone recommend any good honest reliable shops in the NYC area? (Queens or Brooklyn)

Isn't there supposed to be a flap that hangs down in front of the rear tire from the body of the car? As shown here:
Looks to me like you may be missing it. See if you have it on the right rear of the vehicle. I'm too lazy to go out to my vehicle to see if it is there or not.....
