Ok, feeling pretty crappy right now, but here's what happened..

was taking a left turn, rainy weather, shifted into second, my tires i think went into a puddle, and I spunout, fishtailed into a stopped oncoming car, and did a 360...

Damaged my front clip, dented hood, and trashed the quarter panel. no damage to anything significant though...

So, what would I have to do to fix all of this? I know im going to need a new IROC/Z28 hood, a drivers side fender, a front clip, and a new front gfx.... Ive tried searching for a tutorial on removal and installation of these things, and have only come across one for removal of the driver side quarter panel, and was wondering if any of you guys could help me out with some directions. Thanks!

 

its all pretty straight forward. Just look for the bolts and unscrew them. Bummer about the quarter panel. That will probably have to get pulled. How bad is it? Hvae any pics? Good luck man. Just be glad you are ok.

 

Before you do anything take it to a collision shop at least to get an estimate (that part is free). While there make sure they check the frame. Things may look like bent and replacable body panels, but you never know if the frame got damaged under that cosmetic stuff.

 

Turns out the modded accord I hit was past the white line at the intersection, so it's a no fault accident.. but the quarter panel is shot, as is the front clip, gfx, and the hood. ill get some pics up soon... any more suggestions? I'll be sure to take to a collision repair shop for the estimate/

 

good to hear, get it fixed at a shop

 

sorry to hear of the issues, but least it wasn't major and no one was hurt...good luck with everything, from end removal is pretty simple, all bolts, just take em out, haynes might have something on it, but i haven't checked recently...good luck.

ps-
it's a front fender, the 1/4 panel is on the back of hte car, if you had damaged that, you'd be looking at some $$ or you'd need a tad bit of cut/welding skills.

 

Oh yeah, what parts of the car should I look at myself to see if there is any major structural damage? The car still drives straight, feels the same, just looks like crap... Damaged cars are never the same though... just wanted to know how to ascertain the extent of the damage w/o some terror quote from a body shop.

 

as far as the removal of the front clip if you turbo ratchet i got off the bumper cover/spoiler/headlight unit/ theres 5 or 6 bolts inside the fender going horizontally some are hidden, a few upfront for the headlight panel, and some slipjoint pliers to remove those push studs, and your all done and the fender is only those bolts ontop/bumbercoverbolts and 2 hidden behind the gfx

all the bumper bolts are 10mm...youll need alot of extensions and swivel to ge tin there its pretty straightforward, and easy, go to a junk yard and practice pulling there if you feel like it thats what i do all the time i dont know how to do something i pay 2 dollars to get it and practice repairing/removing things if you really need i can scan you diagrams for bolt locatations but its very simple as far as the rear quarter goes thats gonna have to be cut and weld a new piece on..

 

oh the rear is fine, i mis-wrote quarter panel, when i met drivers side fender.

 

That makes it a whole new ball game! Doesnt sound so bleak anymore.

 

that cost me 4800 with the new hood from harwood , a bit of structual damage
