I recently got in a car accident, and I need to replace my hood and fender.

How do I properly do this without the fender sagging or anything? Is there a diagram that would show me where all the bolts are to get the current fender off?

Any tricks to mounting a new hood? I have never done it before, but I assume the hood should be easy.

 

what do you mean fender sagging??? the hood you will need ahelp putting on..any pics of the damage?? Im looking for a diagram to show you what you wull need to unbolt

 

bolts where the hood meets the brackets(2 on each side)

should be 3 bolts on the fender along where the hood would close

2 bolts between the fender and the door(tucked inside)

and possible 1 bolt under the side skirt(civics have them not sure about accords)

or you can just buy the new fender and hold it up and see where the bolt holes sit

The hood you shouldnt have any trouble with, just reuse the brackets on your car and have a friend help you put it on. The fender may give you a little trouble. Judging from your pics and descriptons you're going to need a new core support, so the fender probably won't line up right, or anything else for that matter. I had basically the same exact wreckage as you after my front end collision, here's a list of the parts i replaced. Hood, fender, headlight, bumper cover, bumper brackets, and bumper reinforcement, grille, radiator, radiator support, coolant overflow tank, new hood latch, and the hood prop. It sounds like a long list, but it only cost me around 800 including painting, (it helps if you know how to do that). Just giving you a heads up so you don't get discouraged if things arent lining up properly. Once the radiatior support is in place though, its really quite simple, its like a life size model car.

 

i bought my car with an aftermarket hood. My problem is the hood has the washer nozzles installed but the tube has been taken off so my nozzles dont shoot. Where do i go to rehook the nozzles back up?
