Default Dead or alive??

I'm going to take it to a body shop. I am just curious to see what you guys thought about it. Forgot to take pictures of engine bay, but there are holes near where you mount up the front strut bar. I think it's from top of the damper mounting base of the coilover system? Other than that the suspension still looked alright in my opinion. Oh and regarding my hood.. it's my DD hood.. lol

Was on a local back road with nice carving roads and just before I got to this blind left turn, an oncoming car just exited it and was on my lane. Swerved to the right and avoided the car but passenger side wheels got off road and when I tried to get back on the road my rear end fish tailed to the right and I couldn't regain control and then ended up sliding into a tree.

Damn that sucks....well getting a shop to straighten your frame usually cost around 75$-95$ an hour. Then a door and fender. Really just depends what you want. but its fixable.

Yes it does indeed. Thanks for the info.. I'll keep that in mind when I get some consultation done. Just waiting on insurance to check it out.

..and to everyone else, thank you for your thoughts on it.

I had the exact same damage to my 99 civic a few years back only it was on the driver side, if anything the damage I had was worse. My insurance covered it...barely.

Curious to see pics of that.

Remove fender and door and see how bad the damage is underneath first. If you can just bolt new stuff on, then sure, easy. If there's significant damage underneath then it could get tricky on whether it's worth fixing (for most people).
