Alrighty, update time.

Called the body shop, and as I was expecting, the extra damage was a slightly bent rail, which as of now is already straightened. The core support is off the car, they have everything but the core support and bumper. The core support will be there in time to have everything back together by the end of the work week, but the bumper won't be there until Monday. Finding a temporary bumper is out of the question due to them having the new one on order, which is also the reason I can't get my hands on a IX bumper at this point.

The story on the bumper is that it's Mitsu's fault, not theirs. The service rep tried to get me a new bumper originally, and Mitsu said no, we're going to recondition it, and that failed. So now they're stuck waiting for a new one to get shipped like they wanted originally.

Overall the body shop's been fairly prompt in getting work done, but they're stuck waiting for parts.
