Does it still drive fine? If its not leaking fluids I wouldn't worry about it. Just hopefully you don't have an exhaust leak where that dent is. If the ride quality is still good like I said I wouldn't worry too much over it.

So, you seem to have hit it dead on in the center, seeing as the main damage is to your exhaust manifold and oil pan, correct? You probably shouldn't have much/any suspension damage then.

My advice would be to check along the axis of impact underneath your car, you know, where the rock may have rolled or bounced during the impact. You'll also want to look into a new header (not really in the immediate future, but for whenever you want to know there isn't a big dent in your current one). Also, over the next few weeks, monitor your fluids and make sure they aren't dropping. If they are fine, you ought to be good.

If you really wanted to get tedious, to make yourself feel better you can go somewhere to check that your alignment's still in spec.

WTF? You posted a thread on Honda-tech about this? I've never seen your car in my life. How would anyone on here know?

Go look underneath the car.

I would also check the gas tank for punctures. Aside from that, everyone else covered it.
