Re: My poor wrecked Si (acuracing)
I work at my local Honda dealerships Body Shop and i can tell you straight out it shouldnt be a hard fix at all. Hood, Radiator Support and a few other things. Prolly a 2-4 day fix at the most. 90% no frame damage.
Good luck hope insurance can get you fixed up quick.

Re: My poor wrecked Si (PatrickGSR94)
Any luck with that Patrick? Seeing the car in person after waiting forever and then 2 or 3 days after seeing that...so sad!

sorry for your loss man, that sucks.
umm... i think your motor will need to be replaced, yeah, that's it... umm... give me the old one for free and i'll throw it away for you.

Re: My poor wrecked Si
dude thats not "bad" at all.
if insurance covers it, theyre gonna pay out $2500-$4000 by the time its back to new or BETTER!
real CTR lights, CF hood, Fluidyne and whatever else you might be able to squeeze into the equation. You'd be surprised how much oem honda replacement parts cost compared to the aftermarket stuff, good luck!
Take this as a chance to get a few better/different parts for the frot end

Body work isnt hard. Its just painting that I hate. I strongly suggest trying to find stock colored body parts and just replacing them. Because theres no paint like stock IMO.

Re: My poor wrecked Si (Hatchy-Ownzjo0)
i figured about $2500 - $3000 too. it is not as bad as one of my last accidents where I T-Boned a minivan that pulled out in front of me, My car had alittle over $4500 worth of damage and the 94 chrysler minivan was totaled, the guy it shop said its really not that bad, but will take about 2 weeks to fix, the only problem is my $500 deductable

Re: My poor wrecked Si (Stunna BEN)
that looks fixable, very minor. *damn i wish i got a picture of mine when it was in the junkyard. my prelude was hacked in half, from windshield to front. exactly a full front clip layinf right beside the body. it was in paper, with picture. i know i was sore as **** from laying in a hospital bed for 5 days.

Re: My poor wrecked Si (BlackNoise)
My brother has the same color si and he wrecked the front end just like you did. Although the bumper was pushed in more and sticking out more on the sides. I actually had to look like 3 times to make sure it was not his car. Because he also has the same color intake and bypass valve. Anyways it looks fixable and I hope you get it takin care of.

Re: My poor wrecked Si (spencer00si)
Man you were not even exaggerating when we talked about your accidents awhile back. Sucks man, sorry to see you still have to pay out the $500 as well. Best of luck getting everything back up and running. At least you have a car, with the way your luck is, if you didn't you could be dead about now with the targets people seem to have honed in on you.
