Wondering if my rims and lower grille are ok(2015 Honda civic SE)

Hello all,

I might sound overly dramatic, but I recently almost got in an accident and had to swerve over a curb to avoid a head on collision. Luckily there was no apparent damage but after getting home and closely examining the car, I was concerned about my rims of my tires for potential cracks and noticed my lower grille was kind of popping out. Should I be concerned/getting these fixed? If so, from where(more about where to get the grille fixed if I need to)?

Rims are fine, bumper should just pop back into place.

I can just push the bumper back into place? And is one of my lug nut covers missing or the actual nut?

You'll basically never shear off a lug nut. Looks like the odd one is a security nut.

A good push should slot your bumper piece back into place. Even if the clips broke, I'm not sure it's something I'd worry about.

Yeah I tried pushing it back into place and it doesnt snap back into place so I’m guessing one of the clips broke. Should I be worried about anything potentially getting into the little opening? Sorry if I’m being a little overly concerned because I’m not sure how I would fix the bumper.

You could completely remove the front bumper and still be okay. Don't worry about it.

If that trim piece being popped out bothers you and it wont' push back in, you'll probably have to remove the bumper to see what's going on behind it.
