omfg rosh...thats gonna cost like $2600 to fix...but it depends if your radiator core support is damaged...if that tie bar isnt damaged it'll be less in labor because of that...but from the pix here is my estimate

new front bumper - $210
2 new headlights - $450 or so
new hood - $335
hinges - $10
rubber seats $30
front grill and lip peice $70 or so
front fender - $170

paint - $200
masking materials $10
labor - $800 or so...depends on the shop

that right there is 2200 or so...damn just go through insurance...it'll most likley be cheaper
dunno if ur gonna need a new radiator or anything else either...

sad to say, i got scammed with my insurance...i thought i have an insurance, yet when i called them, they said, they dont have that policy record....anyway, i called this shop at n. hollywood and they are willing to fix the car for $2500 including parts and labor. anyway, there is no leak in the car except the condenser...btw, it happen last week...this 37 year old lady, all of a sudden stop at the freeway. it was trafiic. i tried to pull the hand brake and really step hard on the brake pedal....boom...the car went under her truck...it was an old explorer 2 door truck...anyway, the car that i hit just got a scratch and a bent...damn...oh well.....please bare with me for some typos...im just upset...almost cried...im still waiting for my income tax return so that i could fix this car...darn...can someone let me borrow some money....

no way, my didn't look that bad and it cost me $5,700, and three weeks of my car in the shop. Good Luck!

btw they quoted me a price similar to yours but it sky rocketed after they tore it apart. Seriously, I hope it wont cost you any much more than 3k.

Knowing these cars, the radiator support is prolly bent, though just a tad bit. Such said ...

- A 4-ton cable puller can do wonders for tweeked sheet metal. This is a Honda, not a Volvo ... it will pull out just as easily as it was pushed in.
- Look for a good used headlight on eBay.
- The fender is so thin that you can most likely bend most of it back out with your bare hands. BTDT, so.
- The bumper cover may be salvagable ... zip tie can do wonders. Ditto with the grille.
- You have an excuse for a CF hood. Or buy a used OEM one from someone who has gotten one or is thinking of doing so.
- Left bumper top "rebar" and the hood hinges are prolly in need of replacement. Stick with OEM here.

Look at it this way - you can't make damaged parts any worse, as a shop would have replaced them anyways, so why not give it a shot first?

had that happen to my old car a few years back and got it fixed for 1400 or something from a bodyshop that my mom has always gone to since, well forever. Dunno if he remembers me anymore though. Last time she crashed the entire side of her van, places quoted her near 3k, she got 800. Place is in pasadena north of 210 and orange grove. Around that area. I will see if i can get more infor

to give you guys an idea, my damage was $8k and there was no mechanical damage or audio system damage, and the rear window and tires were fine. It was JUST body damage.
