Thats my car guys. Pretty obvious what happened. Without being able to open the hood, I can tell needs a new radiator, headlights, hood, and probably right front quarter panel. I'm pretty shure the bumper is fine. So I should be able to get an estimate in a few days, but assuming thats all needed to be replaced, any idea what I might be looking at price ways?

Well, it doesn't look as bad as my car did, and the estimate for that was $1,000.

And the crappy thing about CA is, you gotta get the cops to right off the parts from the old car you take it from! I hate CA. I'm glad I'm just right above that liberal state.

Sucks to see! Sorry to hear! Just be happy it wasn't worse though, cars are just cars.

You can go out and buy a different car, there's no refund policy on your life. :cheers:


As far as damages, it'll likely need a core support, hood latch, hood, grille, headlight buckets, headlight motors, corner light, and fender.

The core support will not be cheap, unfortunately. I don't recall if they are bolt in on the accords, or weld in. I would presume weld in, as just about every honda is.

Core supports are "welded" in i do believe, but only light tacks. They are mostly supported by bolts.

I've been clipped on the right front and the left front, 1 each. New fender, hood, bumper cap, marker light. No structural damage. Each time about $1500.

it's just spot welds, get a spot weld drill out tool then get someone to weld them back in. it's a lot eaisier then people think it is .

If you feel like a drive, I have a front bumper, fenders, lights, light motors, hood latch...basically almost everything you are looking for minus the core support, hood, and one bezel. Shipping would be ridiculous I'm sure. My car used to have some minor front end damage, and I was about to fix it, and then it was sandwiched on the 10th. Not even worth trying to fix anymore.
