Default Pothole damage
After two weeks of owning my 2016 C7 stingray I hit a pothole at high speeds in Houston. Amazingly, it still drives perfectly (no tire damage somehow). I doubt I messed the frame up because it still drives like it did off the lot. However, I did notice that two bolts on the underside took a beating and the back end seems to be out of alignment on the left side. Should this be an easy fix for my insurance company?

Can anyone actually see the pictures?
EDIT: Yup, I can see them now.

I'm thinking a body panel out of alignment is not a good thing.

Don't make the guy feel bad.
It's just a car, it can be fixed.
