Re: Fender bender need Help!!!

Re: Fender bender need Help!!!

Yeah dude, from the looks of the pics you have what I would consider extensive front end damage, and I would really suggest you take it to a shot to have it put on a rack to check the frame alignment. You're also going to want to have your front suspension inspected. It looks like the impact was at a decent speed.

At the the very least you're going to need the following:

Headlight
Headlight Support
Pas Fender
Front Bumper Cover
Front Bumper Support
Front Bumper Absorber
Radiator Support
Passenger Fender Liner
Hood?

Paint
Blend paint to passenger door
Blend paint to drivers side fender
Blend paint to hood?

I'd say if this is all you need you're looking at close to $2000 in repairs. This is based off an old estimate I happened to have in my files here at my office from when my Accord got back into a couple years ago.

WOW....I was WAY off. There must be a lot more damage than what can be seen.

Re: Fender bender need Help!!!

most of that work can be done at home, just time consuming. take it apart and see what's broken. most of that stuff is bolt on and if it needs to be welded i can find someone to do it or you could have a place weld that one part. realize shops estimate more than double what you could do yourself

Re: Fender bender need Help!!!

My tires are basically bald, the roads were moist getting back home from college

Holy crap, $300-400 for decent tires as opposed to a now $4-5K estimate

when will people learn to stop driving on bald tires?



anyways,
sad to see another 6th gen go down,

its good you got out of the accident okay
