Default how much damage...

can be done to the front end of a prelude before it can't ever be like stock again? and how do you know if there is frame damage? I messed up my car, the accident wasn't too bad but i have had to replace a lot of stuff and most of the metal in front of the radiator is bent (not the big metal bumper). Just wondering if it's worth restoring to perfect condition (if that's possible) or if it's a lost cause

after seeing what my local shop can do (rolled over merz c230 kompressor restored to near perfect condition) I think ur car can be made new, but don't cheap out on the body shop. Make sure u take ur car to a reputable body shop, and don't be stingy about paying them.
