Ok here is the deal. I came home earlier and pulled in my yard like norman but I got stuck on this bump in my yard. Well I jacked up the back and put bricks under the tires and jacked up the front to do the same. Well the jack shifted and my car came down on it. Now my bumper is not even close to the fenders where it normally bolts up. The hood and fenders still line up fine up top.Also the hood opens and closes fine. Any ideas of what the damage may be?

Who the hell is Norman?

I need more details. Did you jack your car up on the grass? What point did you use to jack the car up (there are 5 points you could have used but only two are safe IMO). A picture would be priceless right now. It sounds like you used the radiator support to lift the car and it came down and dented the bumper. Are there any leaks? How does the car drive?

Ohhhh I know what the problem it.. Your umbilical chord got wrapped around your neck during birth?

but seriously, why are there sink holes in your yard? and why are you driving through the them?

as far as your problem, it's simple. the extent of your damage is as follows:

Yeah dumb typo . I am just so pissed at my self right now. I jacked it up in the grass and I had it on a secure jack point but the jack slipped due to the grass being damp. It seems as if it shifted some where on the bottom because I can't push the bumper back. I am just going insane thinking about me doing something so ******* stupid.

there is no "safe" place to jack a honda up from the front, even the tow hooks are attached to the radiator support. You need to jack from behind the front tire on the seam in the unibody (there is a bolstered pinch weld)

 

I couldn't jack it up fron the side my car is to low and then on top of that I was bottomed out on a hump in my yard.

next time get a lawn tractor, truck, 4 wheeler, etc, and hook an approved tow strap to the rear tow hook and pull it off the hump.. You got yourself onto the hump, you should be able to pull yourself off, jacking it up to put bricks under the tires is only going to result in... well.. you already know..

can you take pics of this "hump" though, I would love to see it.

 

I can when I get find my digi cam. I normally go over the bump fine, I guess I hit it at the wrong angle this time. My day was just going to good and I just knew something was gonna happen.

uhh....whats wrong with the spot under the radiator with the arrow on it, the 2 supports on either side, and the rear tow hook? those are the factory specified lift points, and i've never had a problem with any of them. actually, i usually jack front end of the car up, slip the jack stands under the side supports, then do the back the same way.

I am 22, why does that matter?

Also I was just trying to jack it up enough to put a brick under my tire so I could catch traction.

 

dude its really elementary........just take a good look at the bumper and look for anything that doesn't line up or had been shifted in some way ....you findit if you look hard enough......2 months a go, I backed into my moms van by an accident, but it was only like 3 mph....But still, my rear bumper has been a little crooked since then. I am going to take it off one of these days try to do the same thing that you need to do..................

 

what you should do is get a sheet of plywood to put over that soft spot. trust me my car is dumped 3 inches i know the feeling. btw check your bumper support most likely you fucked that up

 

I am going to pull the bumper off tonight and see what me and my hammer can do.

I think the reason I got so pissed is because everything was going so good yesterday. I am trying to put my gsr back together and yesterday I got around to putting on some of my parts. I put on my JDM ITR wheel,spoon ****,picked up an N1 catback,and got rid of my Volks. Guess it was destined to happen.
