Well at those speeds you're just lucky you didn't total your car! [/sarcasm]. I say congrats...224K+ miles and all you've had is minor low speed collision.

glad you are OK - maybe you can borrow a test driver (something that ends in a vowel) from your dealership...

Thanks guys.

Here are some pics. Still runs but oil cooler is leaking.
It looks like the Civic acted like a can opener on my right front fender.

Sorry to hear about the accident!

I got in a minor accident with my yellow 03 that required having the front bumper and right fender painted. Since its single stage paint my bodyshop wasn't able to match the paint 100% so my front bumper sticks out like a sore thumb At least there is a positive, your bodyshop should be able to match that paint easier!

OMG, the bodyshop estimate was $9,100. He says it's totaled!!!

I will have to wait to see what the insurance adjuster says.

If anything I will buy the damn car back from them because, It still runs!!

I guess I'm going to look into a hood, Headlights, bumper cover, oil cooler, and RF fender on my own.

I'll see what he says and if anythin I'll post in the WTB section.

No, the bags didn't go off and there seems to be only cosmetic ex. for the oil cooler.
The headlight support is bent, and looking at the repair manual it is one piece to be welded in. I'm thinking bend it back,LOL

Right now I am just trying to source parts just incase.
