The Insurance guy came and lots took alot of pics. Went back to his car for almost 1 hour. Came back and cut us a $2,000 check. I got a black bumper for $20 and a grill for $50 from some local members. I was able to save the hood my self. I spent $70 on parts and was left with $1,930

I made the lip. So its the only one around. To fix the hood I used wood and hammer.

Did you modify the accord mugen lip? Did you use 2 lips for cutting and extending? Or just modified a single lip to fit a gs3? Its really nice and clean.. specially the one in your avatar

Hammer with a rubber end or use wood. Most of it was by hand, just by pulling the bent section back and pushing the dents in.
