Unhappy 08 BBP ...wrecked :(




how much do you guys think this will cost to fix?

...i guess its a good opportunity to go aftermarket now. what you see there is basically the extent of the damage. headlamp protector, front bumper. the turn signal is dead. the headlight is still ok. someone told me it may cost up to 1500-2000.

what do you guys think?

its a shame this is my first post.
pardon the photo quality.

That is not bad. Especially since the body shop repairman has to spend $4 a gallon and eat too.

cars are always expensive to repair =( are you paying for the repairs yourself?

i am sorry for you and hope my fit does not suffer the same fate but what is it with people thinking repairs are always too much? the cost of everything is way up i didnt pay 22k for my civic in 1993 do you really think a new full size truck should cost 60k? what is the hourly rate at your dealership? mine is $110.00/hr. just do your due dilligence get three quotes and dont take the low one, and check out their work.
and remember "cheap stuff no good, good stuff no cheap"
