cant see anything

 

 

whoops

 

that sucks *** dude
do ya have a replacement bumper? i happen to have a bomex kit for an integra(if thats what he's got)...let me know.

 

ok, now the pics finally decided to load...

...thats looks bad dude...find that ****** and beat his ***!!!

 

that blows
to bad drivers
to bad drivers that do hit and runs

 

Yeah a friend of mine is selling his old stock one for 100 bucks...just gotta get it painted, he's only gonna have the car till prob end of year so I guess the hood is gonna have to stay beat up like that :/ Maybe i'll pound it down

 

i dont think its possible to get the front bumper off without opening the hood. sucks about your bros car too.

 

Oh crap...didn't think about that...any suggestions to get it unlatched? His headlight went out...you have no idea how hard it is to change that sucker which just holding the hood w/about 3.5 inches of clearance.

 

i guess youll have to get a JDM front end *Sigh* what a terrible thing

 

looks like the frame of the car got pushed back & in. it's gonna have to be pulled out.

as for the hood not realeasing, i'm guessing the latch is stuck in the release hook. probably gonna have to cut the latch off with a torch or saw. can you even raise the front of the hood at all?

there's no easy way to take off the front bumper with the hood being closed. definately just torch that latch off it.

gotta replace hood, bumper, headlight if the brackets are broken, latch assembly.

damn hit & runners. seriously i would have chased them down & called the police on my cell.

Ahhh crap...this isn't looking good, I can lift the hood maybe 3-4 inches. I can feel the hood release but I pulled as hard as I could and nothing...

 

holy hell...i dunno dude it seems like it gonna need a bit more work than a bumper...maybe some frame damage

AHHHHH you guys keep making me feel worse lol...he needs an oil change too :/

 

Claim insurance...Go JDM front end $500 deductable though

 

Someone hit my front bumper so I can get a JDM Front End!

 

i took a hit like that on the other side of the car, but man those headlights can be expensive.
Its definatly time for the jdm conversion!

hope there wasnt much damage to the frame. It looks like the radiator supports are toast too.

 

man ur bro seriously got PNWED!!!!
if ur hood wont pop up it may mean that somethin around the latch got bent

 

since the bumper is already messed up , cut open a section where the hood latch would be and see if you can manually get it to un-latch.

 

damn that sucks...
