20 mph and no air bag deployment? That's a pretty dangerous situation, or you might not have been doing 20.

I'll post the pics up when I get them back from the body shop.
My insurance said I could put any part I wanted, but would only cover up to the cost of OEM parts.
And I was going about 20 mph, but keep in mind that upon impact, I went under the rear of the FX35 and his hitch bullseyed the radiator. The highest priced items included the AC compressor, Radiator, Head lamps (biggest ticket item)
I'm also trying to get a clear bra out of this seeing how I'll have a freshly painted front end. Anyone know a good clear bra installer in orange county? I asked the shop and he said they currently do not have an installer.
10 estimated business days till I am reunited with my baby. (I've already visited her once to see her progress)

I'm no lawyer, so don't take my word for it. You might want to check with your insurance company. If you or the other driver mentioned the cell phone use and it's in the police report, you're golden. If not - the cell-phone use can be obtained w/ a court order. Again, something more appropriate for your agent to follow up on. Benefit for you - if it's the other guy's fault your insurance wan't be impacted quite so much.
Accident brings the worst out of people.
