Bummer. 
But 
for the person that did by leaving their information. Mine was backed into but no info was left. Went to the restaurant's security camera but was unable to see the license plate of the big *** Truck.

Damn - sorry Bro...
Hate careless drivers...
But, at least they were stand-up about it.

Ouch, viewing that actually hurt me....
Hope they can make it perfect again.. I am happy to hear they left information . Today, having honor and responsibility is not easily found. It gives me hope in our society.

All insurance info was valid first shop says 3500. Took it to another today to see what they think. My first impression of this shop today was great they do more of the restoration work of older cars and collector cars. Fingers crossed.

Damn that does hurt to look at but it’s nice to see that the 17 year old was brought up right to take responsibility for her actions. If you pick the right shop you’ll never know she was hit... my wife’s camaro has been rearended twice and the shop did a stand up job with parts and paint.

For what it is worth, in the future, try to avoid parking behind any other vehicle. The low stance, especially the nose, makes a C5 disappear to drivers of SUV's and trucks that are parked in front of you. Yours is one of many that I have seen backed into. It is definitely worth the triouble to find parking where no one can park in front of you. I do feel for you and the damage to your ride. Hopefully all will be made right! Best wishes!

Unfortunately, at some point we all either have an accident or are the victim of one. Good luck on getting it satisfactorily repaired.

It happens. A tall pickup backed into my wife as she was driving through the parking lot. He just didn't see her because his truck was too high.
Accidents happen.
Sucks.
Good luck with the repairs.
