Had a car accident the other day..does this look like it can be fixed from what you see?


No engine damage. The bar where the hood latch is is fucked up(bent like crazy), radiator looks damaged. headlight is shattered. Bumper has holes and gashes, fenders are bent.

 

Just get a new hood.

 

definitely fixable, they won't total an em1 over that little bit of damage. looks like you need a new radiator, radiator support, bumper, and some minor bodywork... i'm guessing around 1500 in work? maybe a little more, kinda hard to tell from your cell phone pic

 

lol yeah, the cell phone pic is pretty bad. So the bar that the hood latches onto and where the headlights connect to is the radiator support?

 

yeah, the area that goes across there (that the radiator bolts to) is the radiator support. you should be able to just have your quarter panels repaired, they really don't look bad at all enough to be replaced. paint and blending the paint into the other body panels is a good chunk of the repairs... ebp is a pain in the *** to blend correctly.

 

Icic...im thinking of getting a Cf hood since its cheaper then OEM and looks better

 

The $1500 estimate is a little low. If the airbags deployed, try like $3500, no airbag deployment, around $2200.

If the insurance company covers the repairs, (if your weren't at fault) then let them buy a new hood, sell it on here, and use whatever you make off that to buy a CF hood and the rest is money in your pocket.

 

Definitely fixable bro...just need new headlight and hood. Fenders are not too bad....

 

definately fixable
is that an lg1200?

 

i had kinda the same accident in my 96..

hood
front core support
radiator
both front fenders
o2 sensor was broken
powersteering fluid tank broken
paint
frame machine to check the frame but it was ok
35 hours labor

the total was 3400.. and the airbags did NOT go off..

im sure yours will be less if you didnt have the same amount of damage..

yours is very fixable..

 

Aiite. Hahaha yes it is a LG1200

 

so you can take a picture of the car on your cell phone. then take a picture of that picture. why not just take a picture of the car with the digital camera???

 

didnt have a camera with me at the time...and I got it towed..radiator was leaking haha

 

get a new hood, what else is busted?

Does yours actually work? Everyone I know who has one, myself included, has nothing but problems with it.
(ie - whenever i want to go on the internet with it I have to turn it off first)

 

without a dout u can def fix that just get a hood and a bumper if needed...

The hood, bumper, radiator, AC fan, radiator support, both fenders a mildly bent, right headlight is shattered. Engine and tranny are fine. Most likely replacing the hood with VIS CF. I'll let you know the estimate on repairs tomorrow once I hear from the body shop.

 

mine was worse than that minus the radiatior getting fucked up. i did all my **** for under a grand. get some jdm fenders for like 150 bucks. i would recomend that you take it to a body shop have them pur on your radiator support, take it hope buy the hood fenders and head light your self put it all on cause now all you have to do is un screw and screw in lol and take it back and have them re-paint your front end. you can get that done for like 400-700.

 

yo hit me up about the accident have a 2000 SI went through the same thing can tell you everything u need to know. car was so low a slide underneath a truck and did the damn same thing. fixed it all wouldn't tell what happened

Before


After


OH YEAH VTEC SOLENOID BROKE AND THE ****** CAUGHT ON FIRE

 

hard to tell by the picture. looks like you'll need a new front clip at least. it could be worse. good luck!

 

just get a new carbon hood and make the car look better anyways could work to your advantage depending on what you have to pay for the deductable

 

Its 500$ deductable, and im most likely getting a VIS carbon fiber hood...called VIS and I can pick it up for 340 +tax
