Are you 100% sure you have frame damage? Look at my accident man. Happened 2.5 weeks ago.

My accident

Thats much worse than yours and I have no frame damage what-so-ever. The only major things to fix are the hood and the radiator support. The entire front end of the car is the rad support. not the frame. You barely tapped someone by the looks of it lol.

 

i agree, your accident is worse!!

i went trough the entire topic and the 3 links DTN posted in that topic. I hope it's only the radiator support, so i could fix that using the pop rivets method. I took a frw pics under the hood, but it don't seems to show any apparent damages exept of that:


.


And by the way...i did the delay valve thing and the air duct removal this week and it works great!

 

have you had your car looked at yet? From what I'm seeing, I would not do anything to the radiator support. It looks like you might need to adjust the hood where it bolts to the hinges and move your hood pin catch over to the driver's side more. After that, take care of other asthetics like repainting the bumper and/or new bumper. Then get a new energy absorber (the foam under the bumper).

 

My car has been looked at by 2 body shop, however i now realise that they didn't even open the hood to give me an estimate of the price to repair it...so, they might have told me that my frame was crooked to scare me so i get it fixed^^

I've already tried loosen the bolts that hold the hood to the hinge, but it didn't move at all. I'll try loosening the bolt that hold the hinge to the car, i haven't tried those because i was too lazy to take of the plastic piece near the windshield that block the access to the bolts loll

What do you mean by "hood pin catch" (english ain't my first language...)

Also, why do i have to get a new energy absorber? Can i just reuse the old one when I'll change the bumper cover?

 

the energy absorber usually gets destroyed when it absorbs energy... not a big deal, you can reuse the old one

The catch/latch is the thing that locks the hood in place.

The stuff that is in the wrong place is adjustable, may require some modification.

 

Thanks for all the infos, but now i'm still looking for a blue bumper cover...I had found one at a junkyard, but when i went to see it in person, i realised it was full of scratches and needed a paintjob. 300$ for a scratched bumper seems too much since mine isn't that bad^^

Also, i've played with the hood mounts and now it's way better, it look less crooked.

So, i'll keep it that way until i find a better bumper cover!
