crashed front end

[king86]

so i drive in vancouver and its gettin really rainy. the street had a puddle and the lady in front of me stoped (twenty feet in front of me) and i hydroplaned right into her ass. not a scratch on her car, but my front end is caved.
i dunno if icbc is gona try to fix it, if not i want to put her back together and back on the road.
take a look and if u have any experience or expertise in front end repair..
the rebara was still in it, and the engine doesnt appear to be damaged
( i was able to drive it away after). fenders are fine, totally unscratched


sorry bout the quallity but it was taken w/ my camera phone

[mkymonkey]

holy mother of shit....thats fucked up didnt you just get that car painted or something? that blows

[Pico]

hopefully no frame damaged happened and you will be able to fix the car.

Doesnt look very bad since the damage seems to be mostly only in the upper center part of the front end. That's a shame though! I dont think you'd have to replace anything but the hood, the bumper and maybe the radiator support, if it's damaged to the point that it's no use trying to straighten it out. Most likely also the radiator.

edit: now is your chance to get a regular sized Honda front emblem

Don't look real bad. Looks like the hood, radiator, radiator support, condensor needs replaced. Check out the hinges, they might have got tweeked. Might need to push the front fender outwards after you put in another rad. support.

gona get a cf hood, and no emblems if i do manage to get her back on the road.
ya the rad support is bent and so is the rebar (needs to be replaced no doubt)

and yes she was jus painted. which makes this even worse.

but has anyone had to repair this ?? im gona fix it even if insurance wont.

my hood looked similar when a tire smashed into it... but my rad support didn't get bent. it's pretty easy to change the hood took like 20 minutes... the rad support is only a couple of bolts too so that's pretty easy... the hardest part would be the ac condensor if you had ac it's kind of a bitch to get in and kind of a bitch to get out... but it's not as bad as it looks at all... i'd say only a couple hous at most after you have the parts... spend way more time on alligning them probably.
