The reason they don't line up is where you got hit. The rear quarter buckles like that when in an impact. If I had pics of my damage, you'd swear my car would be totaled. The rear tire was in at 45 degrees and my rear quarter looked like someone took a bite into it. The whole area that meets up with the side of the rear bumper was folded in and mangled ( where the taillights end). And the gap between the rear quarter panel and hatch was at least 1/2 inch. I freaked when I saw the damage. At the end of it all, my rim was fine, too. Go figure.

That's actually really good to hear. Do you remember what the final total was?
