A very common issue with the cr-v and the spare wheel on the back is, when they get hit from behind the wheel takes the force of the impact, the spare tire is connected to he spare tire carrier, which is bolted to the tailgate. What happens is the spare tire carrier dents the crap out of the tailgate with little to no impact. Also if its a base model cr-v the bumper and lower molding are textured black and shops usually just replace instead of painting.
