So I was at a left turn light when the dude in front of me in the big truck decided to put it in reverse. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
The damage wasn't TOO bad - but you know how these things can add up. I'm not sure if I should try to get a whole new bumper out of the deal. By the time they pull the dent and re-powder coat, possibly replace the 'tit' - it might be comparable to find a nice straight new one. I'm really hoping the hood didn't bend - but the headlight area has me a little worried. All the other lines around the hood look fine though - but I can't pop the hood. ANYWAY - The guy's insurance company suggested a place near by - but since it's not a 2011 honda (or something as such) they won't work on it. The insurance company said I can look around for my own body shop - so - I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions? Maybe in the Orange County / Riverside area? Thanks everyone! |

@CoronaMike World Class restorations in Riverside is pretty good. Another nember used them with goid results. Finding a good front bumper is hard. I have some NOS tits. Look over the car really well all around. Even in the rear trunk for changed gaps If you remove the four bolts that hold on the front bumper there is a hole that can be used to trip the front latch. If you need help let me know. |
