Wow, that does suck, I must admit. Did anything happen to the guy that hit you because he had no insurance? Hopefully he got a fine or something. And if he doesn't pay your deductible, definitely sue him in small claims court if you have the time.
A similar thing happened to me about 1 1/2 years ago when I had my Integra. Someone rear ended me on the 91 freeway, and then took off. I tried to follow him, but he drove off all crazy to an offramp and then on city streets, and I lost him. Luckily, my bumper wasn't too damaged, and I was able to buff out the black marks and use touch up paint to get the bumper to look ok. He hit me pretty hard too. I was really surprised to see how little damage there was when I finally got out of my car. Its amazing how well some cars can hold up in a rear end accident thats not too serious.
