It has been 2 months since i had this accident. I was really trying to forget this event that is why i didnt post this in. The autobody is still working on my car and i am expecting it this weekend. I am truly not happy about it and i really thought of just buying a new one but my lawyer told me to wait. My question guys is, if you were me, what would you do? The autobody told me its gonna be around $9,000 cad. Is it worth to keep it?

Another thing is i am 100% at no fault here and i have a dashcam installed at the front and rear so i have the videos of the accident. I just couldnt upload it atm. Thanks in advance.

Hope they match the colour up. Had work done on mine and it took a few times to correct it. Goodluck!

Sucks.
What kind of dash cam setup did you have, looks like it performed admirably.
Good look going forward!

You're pretty much stuck with it unless you're ready to take a hit by either trading it in or selling it private party.
Technically wont lose much if your insurance can pay for the diminished value from the accident.
Either way, you're going to lose money.

I got the car back 3 days ago. To be honest, they did a good job on the paint. Several small things that i have noticed are:

Gaps are noticeble
They forgot the vtec turbo
Tape marks on my exhaust
They forgot the 3m on my emblem
Glass on the hatch is not center

I will see the dealer on tomorrow and let them know what is going on.

I would probably do some washing for a better inspection of everything. Not that I'm downplaying your list of concerns.

Keep it and get it fixed proper by a reputable shop. If you buy a new one the same thing could happen the same day you get it. It's very unfortunate but it happens. We all just hope that is doesn't

Take it back and kindly explain to them a few things need adjusted to yur liking and a couple emblems were missed and they should get you fixed up. On a repair that extensive it wouldnt be hard to forget to order a couple small things, the insurance adjuster missed it, or maybe they're still on order,

The problem is not the forgetting, everyone forgets things. The problem is that they couldn't bother to Google a Civic Type R and make sure they didn't forget anything. I wonder what they forgot to mix into the paint, enough hardener? Any leaks that could cause rust, between the glass and the hatch? I didn't understand what you meant by "forgot the 3M on the logo" or whatever.

Do I have a vtec turbo sticker on my car? I don't think I do. Is that a Canadaland thing?

I took it back to the yesterday. I drove the car for a week and i did missed it a lot. And i will keep the car and will claim for diminished value and prolly do hondata next year and armytrix exhaust. Unless, honda decides to make limited editions.

I got the whole front end including the emblem ppf, which they didnt.

And yes, the vtec turbo sticker is a canadian exclusive thingy.

Will post pics as soon as i get it back. Thank you guys for all your input.

Daymiel: Late to this thread. Sorry this happened and it sux. Glad you weren't more seriously hurt. I just gotta ask: Was the dick who started the chain reaction texting, face booking, tweeting or whatever is popular to do on a phone instead of paying attention to driving? There was a long pause between when everyone was stopped and the idiot showed up!
