how much would it cost to get a core support fixed? it was in a fender bender and it got pushed up? the guy im buying the car from said less then a 1000 dollars

 

You can go to a junkyard and find one. My friend got one for $30 for his EF. Me and my dad are gonna do it soon. Its a couple of spot welds that you need to drill out, and re-weld it onto your car.

 

i dont have a welder how much would it cost to get one and have it done at a shop? like 500?

 

I was quoted a 1000 when i wrecked mine, for removal, them lining everything up, and putting new one in.

It's not really hard to put one in, however it can take some time to get everything perfect.

 

Crtifit aftermarket Parts

eg - 75 , ek - 45

new aftermarket. downloadable catologue. core supports need to be welded in and properly alinded. its 4 hours to replace only, not tear down and rebuld.

 

^^ **** that. you mean sorta fit.

Do not and i mean do not buy those types of core supports, you WILL be very unhappy in the long run.
i have one, it fits very poorly, more then half the weight of oem, and bent within a month!

1000 was quoted useing a brand new oem core support, and aligned and installed by a pro.

 

you have the general idea of the company, it is just a cheaper way to handle a rebuild. go to honda and buy one from them. will save bunches of headache.

 

but i cant weld and i dont have a welder soooo i kinda have to have someone else do it for me

 

Talk to some freinds see if they have or know someone with one.

 

Costed me $150 in parts, welded it in with my friends help. A shop would probably charge anywhere from 600-1000 to get it done, if not more.

 

That doesnt seem to bad, but not everyone has homies to do things.

 

do you think i could use a come along and just pull it like have one in on the support and another around a tree? my friends dad did it to his 4 door eg and it looked alright

 

ehh, i wouldnt reccomend doing that. It would be easy to pull to far, or even snap the core support.

 

oh. well my friends dad tried and it broke his come along lol
I think im just goin to save like 1000 bucks to have a shop do it. atleast then it warrentied

 

buy a little hobart welder and a new core support. Cheaper and you'll have the welder for in the future.

 

I DONT KNOW HOW TO WELD

 

not that hard dude, grab a couple of junk peices of metal and practice, i didnt know how to either, i did a little i still suck, but, its not that hard.

 

idk.. could i throw a bumper on my car right now? i mean will it go on even if the core support is pushed back?

 

How bad is it? post pic, i sure youd be able to ( no promises), but it will mostlikely line up like total ***.

 

I'm in the same boat as you are. a local body shop quoted me $1,200. The core itself was listed at about $300. You can new ones on eBay for about $100 shipped. Its just the labor that's a bitch because they have to make sure everything lines up correctly. Probably looking at $500-$700 on labor. Good luck.

 

^ Dont buy a ebay core support! I have one they are very poor quailty and no matter what you do it will never line up correctly.

 

Need a pic of damamged part on coresuport, no way to tell from here.

 

thats the best i can get. sorry for crappy quality its my phone

 

Ehh, well i guess see what you can do to, to pull it out a bit, just be extreamly careful, you could pull the top out too.

But you should be able to put a bumper on it.

 

okay.. it just looks like **** with out one. lol and the rest looks clean as Fu$k
