I think there's more damage than visible. The metal "bumper stop" (not sure what it's called) is flat now. Also, when starting the car it made a funny sound that I can only describe like the radiator fan was rubbing against something. After startup, everything sounded normal, but I didn't see the radiator fans turn on at all. No fluids were leaking.

When I had my thing in July, no fluids were leaking but when it was taken apart, there were leaks... the compression from the accident held the leak back.
So I'm sure it'd be worth checking out everything just to be safe...

UPDATE
I left work early so I can go to the body shop (Ed & Jim's in Towson) even though I've been playing phone tag with the claim rep all day.
I just came back from the body shop, which happens to be about 20 mins away. well it seems their insurance co (Hartford Fire Insurance Co) adjuster has to do the estimate, not the body shop, but I got all the info (sans the estimate) from one of the head guys there and even found out the adjuster's name. I left another message for their claim rep and then I drove all the way home.
When I got home, I called the claim rep again and finally got in touch with them and it seems their insurance adjuster is out (on vacation or whatever). So the claim rep called the body shop and authorized the guy I spoke to do the estimate. So now i have to drive all the way back tomorrow morning.
I told my side of the accident to the adjuster and it seems everything will be taken care of, but the final decision is pending (they haven't had a full discussion with the woman yet other than the initial claim).
At least it's a bit of a relief, but I did miss a half day work today and will be missing a few hours tomorrow, so if they do argue fault and it goes to court I'll get my hours compensated by my lawyer.
