so I was driving just a little bit fast...and i may have powered into this turn just a little bit..... it's at night and a bit cold... hasn't been raining for a few days like it normally does, but I guess the dew/condensation/whatever made me completely lose my grip on the road. I basically was turning to the left and my tires lost their grip and i think i turned the wheel and I went into the other lane and spun 180 degrees then hit the dirt/side of the road with the front....

I was just shocked...and I tried to turn the engine on, but turns out it had never died. so I just drove away from it. Thank God there was no ditch or anything....

it happened at one of those 90degree turns 25MPH signs... :x I was going maybe 35 or less.
EDIT: This was a narrow country road.
:'(

Can anyone tell me what I need to buy? Including paint job? Can i get it prepainted? I really don't have the $ right now to afford this....so I might have to drive it like this for a while.

what parts will I need? I am very blessed and I'm thankful that I wasn't hurt, no one else was hurt, and the damage seems to be minimal..........I hope.


So my friend says I need to take off the bumper and look..

and hope for no unibody/subframe damage...

The headlights and hood are fine. Although from those pics above my friend thinks that the hood seems a bit higher than the fender. (It looks normal to me what do you guys think).


Be careful out there guys!

so my friend is gonna help me take it apart and assess the damage. He thinks total price will be around $600 including the paint job.

 

I need to repaint my bumper but it's only due to an 1 1/2 inch rock chip... nothing like this

 

how much will it be?

 

bro seriously you've got to be a ****** idiot, who does that

 

who does what...get in an accident?

 

Almost on topic, some ******* in a parking lot swiped my rear bumper, how much does it usually cost to get a *good* paint job on just a bumper? There's some rock damage on it that could use a touch up as well.

 

Dude....

 

 

If you are running all season or summer tires, you should know they both do not grip well in wet weather. I have several of these roads in my area as well. At your rate of speed, I hope you at least knew that you would need to be in oncoming traffic lane just to take the correct line to make the turn without spinning out or ending in a ditch.

This has driver error written all over it.

I am done ranting. Seriously, only looks like it is your bumper. However, if you have the Injen CAI, the filter is in the lower driver side right behind the bumper. Check the filter and tubing. In addition, I would make sure your radiator and hoses were not damaged in any way. Good luck.

 

that suck...check underneath of ur car just in case...

I agree. This car handles extremely good. But even this car is only as good as the tires it's on. And the factory tires are good in dry weather but crappy in wet weather. Doesn't seem to be much more than just the bumper though. But I can't tell just from the photo. But the hood looks fine. Personally I think you got off easy. It's good you're okay though cause it could have been alot worse. Stay up man.

Rear bumper is pretty big. Good paint job will probably run about $600 to completely redue the bumper.

 

You can order the bumpers already painted actually, for a few hundred bucks i think. Clips that may be broken to put it on are like 3 bucks a piece from a dealer. theres somewhere around 8-12 clips total.

 

Now you have an excuse to get the hfp lip kit see something good can come from this !

He makes a good point.

Also forgot to mention that you can get the bumpers or aero kit from Tre. He has the best deal. PM him or go to this thread. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread/1819396

 

man, sorry to see this, glad you are ok...

too bad about that FG Squad sticker though, lol

Looks like you lucked out and might just need a new front bumper and paint job...shouldnt be that costly...

I took the liberty of resizing your picture. As a general rule, you don't want to post an image of resolution greater than 1024x768, and 800x600 is even better.

It doesn't look to me like you've done very much damage at all. I think you're lucky.

Your first line sums it up: you were driving "just a little bit" too fast.

You have a good, safe car for driving fast. Sometime when you're able to do it, you might consider some HPDE classes through a local NASA franchise.

It'll help you learn a lot about your vehicle's dynamics at speed, and help you recognise when you're going too fast, and help you know what to do after you realise you've got yourself in trouble.

 

did anyone realize what i said? lol you can buy them painted...

 

as mentioned before, check your radiator, and radiator supports. If you have a CAI, check that too.

Also check the undersides of your headlights, headlight support frame, and fenders.

Demonis- I was not aware you could buy pre-painted OEM bumpers. Link?

 

Thank you TRE and Si 4 Life. Talked to Tre and looks like parts and stuff will only be about $200. Painting will depend on quality but up to $300.

Where is this link for pre-painted parts? What is the quality?

Thanks you all :D

By the way, it wasn't wet at all anywhere else. It hadn't rained for about 4 days in Oregon/Washington like it normally does all the time. It was just night, cold, and maybe a little foggy in that particular area.

:x

I still don't see where there are prepainted parts.

TRE_ says they come unpainted.

I am most likely gonna go through TRE regardless :D

 

welp now I look like a jackass cuz I can't find where the prepainted parts were... haha SORRY! *scratches head* I know I saw them somewhere.

 

-_-

Here are updated pics. I'll edit the original post as well.
