so i got into a minor accident, yes it was minor, my front bumper got pulled to the left but didnt fall off. the radiator support? thing got pushed abit, not much.the metal piece under the headlights shifted to the left with the bumper. it doesnt seem like there is chassis damage. i drove it home. so how mmuch would it cost to replace the parts? im pretty sure i left out a few things.

the hood, fenders and headlights are still good, everything but the bumper radiator support and the piece under the head lights?

what do you guys think it would cost?

98 civic ex 2dr btw

 

take it to a body shop and get an estimate. Body shops will give you a free estimate.

 

maybe you can do it yourself...take some pics...ive done a few things myself...its pretty simple and youll save some cash

if the radiator isn't leaking then the support isn't hit too hard. take a few pics so we can tell what kind of damage it has. it sounds like it'd be cheapest to just fix it yourself. if the support is bent too much you'd need to either pull it out at a shop or get a new one.

 

bump need to get this fixed

 

well your pics arent working...i only see red x's

 

they were working earlier is there a place i can post them so that there isnt a limit? i guess i passed the viewing limit

ok i hope this works now








i plan to silicone the headlights up for the time being. i need to straighten the radiator support and what about the hood?

 

it doesnt look too bad from the terrible pics i think you can just "maneuver" the metal back into place...take some pics further away so we can get a bigger idea

 

take a pic from further away, haha, i can barely see any damage.

 

i dont think its really that bad but have any estimates? is it a DIY?

 

looks like all you need is a new bumper, and some slight pulling.

 

its a diy simple stuff there pal

 

get 99+ front.

 

dude, that damage is nothing. if everything lines up right then you don't even need to worry about the radiator support. the headlights can be jb welded and still used (plastic welder). looks like the only part you'll need to replace is the bumper cover. btw, how come you have a sedan chrome grill on a coupe?

 

this is my other name it said something about no more than 5 post in 24hours.

im second owner of the car, it has rear ended a truck before i got it and i checked it out, the chassis wasnt damaged except the radiator support so i bought it.
the grill, front bumper, hood and radiator support was changed by previous owner so i guess they put the wrong grill in?

btw the hood is gapped at the right side so i guess it got bent/pushed to? look at pics above.
Thanks for the help guys

 

Make sure you check the core support. If it's bent, your gaps won't line up straight.

ya i noticed the gap on the hood. did the hood get hit at all? if the hood is hit, then the hinges are bent, and that's what's causing the gap. just replace the bent hinges.

 

I agree with CiRcUiTsi.
