I bet the rear one is slightly bent, that is a pretty hard impact.

Bah, if you look at the pic, all that seems to be bent is the UCA. Yes the rear shock "may" be bent, but I highly doubt it.
Body shop will need to cut out that 3/4 panel, and weld in new sheet metal.
Good luck with getting her back on the road.

if u had full coverage on that then this is what id do. use the money that the insurance company gives you to buy like a cheap hatch or something. swap the motor from that integra in it and part the rest of that integra out and make money. thats what i would do, i wouldnt bother tryin to fix that even if its possible.
Insurance company will total that =/ Costs way too much to cut out that panel and weld in new metal and paint it. Friend of mine got hit almost exactly like that but it didn't even damage the LCA as this accident did, was just a good size dent in the quarter panel. Insurance totalled it...

That doesn't look like enough damage to total that car out. That Integra's worth is probably around $7500, that would mean that the damage would need to be about $4500 for the insurance company to total it. Let's say it is, so then they give him the difference of that, which would be $3000, take away the deductible, $2500 is the check he would get for his Integra. Then he would have to buy his car back, at least $800. That leaves him $1700 to buy a hatch...
...do I really need to continue? He would lose his *** if they totaled the Integra.
Anyways, I don't think that it will get that far. If he has insurance coverage for this accident, I think this Integra will be back up in a month at most (depending on body shop's schedule).

Well crap...I don't know what to say then. I hope that his insuarance company doesn't total it.

from body shop experience, your lookin at about a 3.5 - 4g job. depends how much ur car is worth. if hes payin to get it fixed who cares? id bring it to the best body shop in town.

I had an accident almost identical to that, only none of my suspension components were affected. Mine came out to around 3300-3500, at one of the most expensive body/paint shops around town. This was on a 97 GSR, and insurance did not total it. So there's hope! Good luck with it.

Hopefully only the control arm is bent. You should check the frame as well. If the frame is damaged, get the ITR wheel-well, rear frame, and rear cross member.

don't you wish it was your front fender/bumper instead???? I always think that "IF" i do get in a car accident, i hope its the front so insurance could pay for my 98+ conversion or my jdm front end
but as for your situation... and what the others have said already OUCH!

i dont think there going to total it out from that way there talking. Marble you go the right idea i was thinking the same xact thing get a hatch throw the b18c1 in there for awhile and keep the integra and make it a full out track car, the car in in good hands right now its at a local honda dealer soon to get fixed. i hope and pray they will.
