go to honda get an estimate and hand it to your friend.
& after its fixed.

Get new friends.

 

good advice..im gonna use it

 

I don't know, when I heard that your car hit a wall I was expecting more damage than what the picture shown. If I'm looking at it correctly, there are some scratches, and the last pic got few paint chip. Well, you could get the stuff from autozone and fix the paint yourself. Get the scratch fix kit and Honda NHBP paint tube from them and fix it youself. On the other hand you can go to the dealer and ask them to fix it nicely and have your friend pay for it. lol

 

yea! I had some ******* try to keep me from getting in to his lane when I had more than enough room. so he floors his POS 85 chevy truck and hits the rear of my civic on the drivers side when I was 80% in the lane. so we pull over and he smells like a beer can and I said your drinking and driving like an ***!! so I called the police and by the time thay got there he was chewing gum and drinking mouth wash. he told the cop that I should not have taking his right away. the ******* was sitting at a red light when I passed him doing 30 I had 3 cars on him when I got over. damm I wonder what the insurance co . is going to say since we both have state farm? the cop even said he was a jerk for doing that, but **** happends. I cant sleep now wondering were Im going to get good work done!! bullshit im pissed. I called the cops right away so I wouldent beat the guys *** and throw him in traffic. LOL. just kidding but I was thinking it.. well sorry for the rant good luck with your car.

 

before you go and get the expensive honda work just go get some scratch x. my girlfriend did damage to her paint very comparable to that and it brought it out perfectly after like two applications and its not near the price/trouble/wait that honda will give you imo

 

you gotta be nuts to let people drive your new car. I dont even let anyone drive my 14 year old civic (I even told my mom she couldnt drive it, and i bought the car off of her ) let alone sit in the driver seat of my new civic.

 

Why the hell would you buy and brand new Si and let all your friends drive it? I own a 98 Hatch and still won't let anyone drive it. Make the idiot that scratched your bumper up pay for it, and don't let morons drive your car...not just morons, anyone.

My thoughts exactly. I dont even let my dad drive my car. LOL

 

try the scratch x first...and if that works go to honda and get an estimate and let him still pay for the damages

 

My wife and father in law are the only people that I would even consider letting drive my car. Anyone else might just as well be asking to date my 12 year old daughter. That's why God invented the shotgun!

 

i wouldnt be too mad about the guys stalling

I mean to mess up your cluch you gotta stall a whole lot


But hitting a brick wall and stalling! f88k man. Is this guy going to pay for it??

 

well...i got some professionals to look at it and they all said that the whole bumper has to be removed and had to be sanded down...it was the only way and the scratch stuff wouldn't work cause it was pretty deep...well i got estimates from honda and dey said $430...well my cousin found dis guy who is pretty good at body repair and did a couple of my cousins car and turned out like new..but all his cars were white...idk how dis guy would do a black car...well...dis guy only wanted 230 and my cousin told me every body shop should repair the scratch pretty much the same and would turn out the same i should let this guy repair it and pocket the extra 200 out of the 430 and get some foglights...any thoughts of this bein a good idea? i mean thinkin about it...most body shops probly gonna have the same outcome...plus later on im gonna get scratches worse than this...just have this repaired less noticable

 

if its only the bumper I would go for it. its not like thay have to blend or anything if thay paint the whole bumper, not a big deal at all!

 

check out Final Finish in south charlotte at the corner of 51 and monroe rd., ive seen some of that guys work.. (i work near there) its very good. he is pretty reasonable. if you offer to bring him the bumper and pay with cash im sure he will hook you up.

 

it depends how much you like your car. Find out if the guy has a spray booth, or if he just gonna spray the bumper. If he doesnt have a spray booth, you will get debree from the air stuck to the paint.

Unless this guy is just being cool and giving you a deal, you usualy get what you pay for

 

yeah he is ok... he has a paint booth with the works... its basically a custom shop that does alot of well anything. bikes, trucks, cars... i see all sorts of imports down there... they owner has a 300 zx (i believe) he does something new to it every few months.

 

then i would take him up on that deal. just to paint a bumper its usualy right around 500 bucks at a body shop because of recycling fees and stripping the bumper.
