Default *sniff* accident

So while goin to school, I end up in an accident. Right before EOS too. I'm overall surprised at how well the car took it tho. There's no actual car damage, just bumper/fender remove and replace with new ones.



man... dad is going to kill me

At least it didn't mess up the grille and fogs. Is your kit authentic, if not the bumper shouldn't cost very much. I think the Version Select bumper is around $140.

Dang man, sorry to hear about that. At least the HRE's didn't get hurt out of it all. Your car still looks sexier than any Honda

was my fault. was lookin for a parking spot and one slip, bam .

The tabs on the headlights are actually still intact. After removing the headlight, i got a better glimpse of what is damaged. The support under the headlight is bent and will need to be replaced. The metal fender that attaches to the headlight is bent, bodyshop can take care of that.

Now i gotta worry about rental issues....
