Likely but not necessarily. The reality though is cars are built to fold like an accordion these days which means many crashes result in totals. It’s good for safety bad for car preservation

I think it will look fine once it's all installed. It probably would work even better if you added another red accent. Maybe red mirror caps?
Or the red door garnish

I installed a new left-side rear lower control arm after mine took a beating when I went over a curb. I also installed SPC aluminum camber arms, Whiteline toe arms, and Whiteline 22mm rear sway bar. The problem now is that no shop wants to do my alignment. The only shop that will do it didn't do a good job the last time, so they aren't an option.

Drove 700 miles (round trip) today, went to pick up a new addition to the family! Was about time for mother to get a new vehicle, and she decided on this 2018 Accord EX-L 1.5T CVT. Absolutely gorgeous car inside and out. Not nearly as fast as my tuned Civic, though ?

Gathered some interesting information today, may make a post about it once I collect my thoughts. A nice comparison of my '18 EX-L Civic Hatchback vs our new 2018 EX-L Accord (both 1.5T CVTs).

I think that's got to be totalled unfortunately. Hope you're okay. Vegas drivers are the worst!

Oil change, tire rotation, air filter cleaning and then a 1,800 mile trip across the country. Been using the Kirkland brand 0W-20 for the past few oil changes, been changing around 6,000-7,000 miles and it seems to be holding up well. I used to use Amsoil but without going to extended drain intervals, I felt like I didn't need the Amsoil. Most of those miles are interstate miles as I drive back and forth from El Paso, TX to central Florida.

Installed new lip and new headlights. The process of removing the bumper was a pain in the arse. Need to align the cutoff lines and wire the DRL lights for the lip next.

She looks good! Don't make me fear taking off the front bumper... I'm planning to swap the headlights and fogs for better assemblies (running H9s in the OEM projectors atm). The videos make it look easy (though driving through winters will not make those clips live an easy life).

I don't understand why Honda made it easy for the HB/SI/Type R owners to swap fog lights and the horn, while we non-SI sedan owners have to suffer taking off the bumper.

Though, the Civic appears to be manageable. The third-gen Ford Escape is not
