i always turn my head when i change lanes because that has happened to me in my truck.

i wish these mirrors had a wide angle second mirror like my mustang had, such a great idea. never had to turn my head the second mirror was always on point.

yeah they'll probably reskin the door anyway so magic eraser and clear coat won't matter anyway. Just want to manage the manky look of the damage to the best extent possible. Everyone in my neighborhood teases me about my car care regime and this happens.

Ouch! Time to reverse it into the garage lol NOBODY KNOWS!

i HATE when people hang in my blind spot and I try to make a concerted effort to not be in anyone's blind spot either. Sorry to hear about your accident - that sucks but happy to hear no one was hurt. Vehicles are replaceable but people aren't

Word. One of my pet peeves is slow passers. Like if you're going to pass, then pass. Authoritatively. And don't dilly-dally. Lol. Some people just lack situational awareness and it isn't second-nature.

I hate it too because i always try to position myself in a safe spot where it's easier to react to other people's lack of awareness. It's the sentiment of "IF ONLY EVERYONE DOES THIS AND THAT"
But in the end it's my responsibility to make sure i am not changing lane into another car. can't blame them for driving normally in a straight line.

I find that the worst blind spot in this car is 2 lanes over on the driver’s side. I’ve almost hit a couple people merging onto 3 or 4 lane roads.

I always crane my neck looking around the B pillar when merging onto highways for this reason lol.

Been seeing too many R Owners damaging their cars lately Could have been worse and glad everyone is safe!

Try some of this: Griots Track Spray
Might need to polish it out too.

Not just type R, but it seems like civics are accident prone

Brake cleaner works. Use quite a bit or else it will just smear.

Omg, don't spray brake cleaner on paint!

Lol I used wd40 and an eraser block. Got it all off.

The passenger side blind spot is rough on this car. I've been surprised a few times. Glad everyone is ok and damage is wicked minor.

You know - if you got it all off - the surface stuff - you could try the hot glue pull out method for the dent. You may be able to fix this overall

Well the paint is rubbed off in places and the door is pretty crunched and the passenger back door edge is sort of cut. We’ll see what the shop says Tuesday.

No ticket but sick to my stomach. First accident in nearly 40 years…

aww that’s terrible. Looks like it won’t be too bad to fix.

 

[SmokeGhost]

I just hope the place you take it too can paint match the sgp right. That alone would bother me.

Glad no one was hurt. As for the chaning lane. A lot of people does this sh*t on purpose by "shawdowing" you to get a few bucks from the insurance. You would even signal and once they see your signal, they accelerate so you can't get in. That's why I hardly use my signal. If I want to change lane, I just do it and not "wonder" about it.

Thanks to the Suma side mirrors, I have them aimed so I can cover the blind spot and the rear of my car along with the rearview mirror.
