haha, i rear ended a van this morning whose bumper was higher than mine. so basically my hood and subframe is all bent to ****, i think my radiator is leaking and i have a busted head light. does anybody have an estimate on prices of
hood
bumper
headlight

the only thing that is keeping me happy is that today is my birthday, except that its been the worst birthday ever.

the damages should cost about a grand alone - expect to pay more depending on which shop you choose

These are list prices because I don't know what kind of hook-ups you got.

OEM hood $324.25 (unpainted)
Paint/labor $150 maybe??
bumper $193.68 (unpainted)
Paint/labor $150 maybe?
Headlight $120
Radiator $268.38

Again these are list prices. My recommendation - find someone with a clip, or
VIS CF hood - $380 + shipping
JDM headlights from Ebay $100 ?
or JDM style headlights from ProCarParts.com $179
junkyard radiator, or upgrade to Integra or Fluidine
$40-$250

Bumper from password JDM or whatever. . .
if you get insurance money, maybe it would be best to just get a clip, do a swap, and be done. Or get the clip, sell the stuff you don't need. You might come out ahead.

surprised the fenders aren't flaired
you're probably looking at about 500 - 1200 in parts and iono how much in paint..

It's hard to give an accurate account as I haven't seen it, but for those 3 parts, new rad, probalby new rad supports upper and lower, subframe needs to be straightend, fenders need to be straightened or replaced, expect to spend around a grand :-\

Good luck man, sorry this happend on your birthday

that really sucks man.... really not too sure on the prices, but I can tell you that with a little luck, you can find used parts for pretty cheap.... if your upper radiator support is trashed, I think my parts car has a good one you could get..... I might be able to help you with some of the stuff if you're wanting to go used.....

funny same **** happened to me. My sol right into a chrysler POS minivan. Bumper on ebay are 30 bucks, and they fit good, or at least on mine was aright. My core support was bent, got that fixed for 100 i believe. Hood i got for 134+ shipping. Fenders were ok and my lights were fine. Paint i had a friend do it....80 bucks. Milano red is unmatchable......whadda bitch. Total i think i had like 700 bucks. Gay ****.

i have the same situation but not as bad just wonderin where can i get my core support straighten out at? any shops?

dogbiscuit

yeah i got the hood open and my core support is bent all to crap, i dunno what to do for this. do you just have to take it to a shop to get it bent back out or what?

I found radiator supports for ~$70-80 online on websites and ebay and shipping was ~$40-50
my dad wants me to take the car to a shop but i honestly feel i could do it myself for cheaper and more experience. which route do you guys think i should take?

thanks

haha i hit a POS chrysler minivan, the driver was such a nice guy though. He asked if i was okay and he didn't even have us file a report, so i didn't have an accident show up on my insurance. considering i only have liability and it was my fault.

his bumper got bent down a little and he said "screw it it's and old van and your car is smashed to crap, fair deal."
