My son rear ended an SUV with his 96 Civic EX Coupe - we're trying to decide whether to fix or part out. It looks like, at a minimum, we would need a new hood, right headlight, hood latch, radiator and radiator hoses. Bumper and insert seem to be ok. I can probably bend the radiator support back (I've been working on it) but might need to get a new one welded in - which would probably cost more than the car is worth.

If we part it out, everything else is in decent shape. Engine and automatic transmission work fine. All glass, including the sunroof, is good. Interior ok - some small rips in the seats but everything is there. I have the air intake - just removed to work on the car so it isn't in the picture.

Just want some opinions - what would you do? Thanks.

I'll say this. I just bought a 98 with the Exact same damage. I bought a hood... Headlights... Chained the support to the back of truck and hit reverse.. Grill... And that's it.. Fix it and keep it.. No need to ditch..
