I was recently in an accident and hit a truck with a steel hitch at a bit less than 20mph (after slamming on my brakes down from ~60). The truck had no damage, nor injuries. My car on the other hand has a hole straight back to the intercooler and left a nice dent in the intercooler. I was wondering what the best route for this would be to get it fixed out-of-pocket (I can replace the bumper/bar/trim/intercooler manually), but don't know best way to get a paint match, nor best places to get best prices. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It did work, yes. Doesn't show anything that would help me out more than hurt me though :/

Just curious, do you have the Honda Sensing package?

Edit:

You answered my question indirectly: http://www.civicx.com/threads/install-honda-sensing-on-an-ex-t-l.6955/
You could probably tell from the picture that included their fog light enclosure. You can tell that it is not Honda Sensing from the picture. ;)


Anyways...sorry to hear about the accident. I was rear-ended by a girl in a Jeep Renegade at 25+ mph and my heart slowly shattered.....Haven't even had my first oil change.....

I'm gonna assume parts/labor and paint bill will be over 2k, I'd suggest going thru your insurance company. do some research and find a reputable shop w/ good reviews, ask around best to go with a place that will give you a warranty. good luck

Well i would say directly from honda as they will fit like new parts, you could also go with aftermarket OEM style parts but in most cases the fitment will not be perfect.
