I literally just got nailed by a rogue shopping cart in just about the exact same spot. 
Not as severe as yours, but cracked the paint. I touched it up the best I could...but that dent bothers the shit out of me! PDR guy said since it was in such a tough spot, I'd be better off going to a body shop. Ugh. Car looks great by the way.

Huge update
Well, its time for a much needed update. Bought a daily in Feb and got it running a few months ago. A little 2000 Accord Coupe V6 that's an EX show car. It has tons and tons of mods, so Im posting a few pics. The TL is getting air ride right now, Accuair E-Level w/touchpad, twin 400c compressors, exo mounts, 5 gallon tank, paint matched electron blue to my wheels, doing custom stainless steel hardlines myself and using Airtekk bags. Also got sponsored by Avant Garde and have been waiting months and months but my wheels finally arrived. Never thought id spend the money, but why not? haha. Got a used brembo swap with knuckles and all. Cleaned everything and replaced the wheel bearings, ball joints, put new drilled and slotted stoptech rotors and pads in front and rear to match. Had the brembo calipers powdercoated white with candy blue acura logo that was enlarged. All new hardware, and got skunk2 upper control arms. Air bags are on the car, but im still working on the rest of the system. Also dealt with Josh about my blown XLR8 mufflers which he wouldn't warranty, after 6 months Billy Boat made me some new ones free of charge. Props to Billy Boat for being a stand up company and standing behind their product unlike some of their sellers. Alyways, thought is share a few pics. ENJOY!

Man I love that generation of Accord - looks badass with the 530s. I think if my TL ever gets relegated to weekend/show car, I would love to buy and mod one of those - K swapping one with a big turbo would be fun as hell I'd imagine.
Love the wheel color - I'm not usually huge on directional wheels but this is a pretty unique choice as far as VIP AGs go, so props for being original

LOL...well, I normally give people the right to be an ass once...maybe a bad day, but when I experienced it and then other people I trust have too...meh.
Then again, if he's dealing with the people on the 3G FB pages, I kinda don't blame him for being all like "the customer is always wrong"

Very Nice build!
Airtekk bags huh? hmm. never heard of that, but going to research more into this company too, before pulling the trigger on bags in the future.

Basically there are two companies that make air bags for our cars. D2, Airtekk, K-sport, are all exactly the same and made by the same company. Airrex is the best and other company, but raised their prices to 3200 for bags. Others are about 2k

Well car is still under the knife. Air ride is pretty much all done and car is drivable again. Just gotta change the location of my rear ride height sensor brackets because they hit the frame with the linkage on. Trunk setup with hard lines is all done. Added a matching second JL XD1000 amp and took my old WickedCas sub box out and made it into the floor now. Strut towers are notched to lay frame up front. Car cannot go any lower haha. ATLP roof spoiler and 3 piece trunk spoiler just got painted and I got brand new Type S front and rear bumpers and a Type S aspec lip kit all new all around so I can get this thing show quality. Picked up a set of CDM tail lights yesterday and making some progress on it. Wheels arnt on yetm got a little tire issue and had a issue with the tpms stems not working with the AG wheels, but I made them wortk with a little engineering of the tpms stem. Trying to have her ready for show season (Hot Import Night) in a month. Cross your fingers!

Brand new Type S front and rear OEM bumpers and paint, brand new Type S A-Spec lip kit all around, ATLP roof spoiler and ATLP 3 piece trunk spoiler all painted NBP and installed. Making a custom front diffuser and diffusers on the rear and sides as well. Come on show season.
New CDM tails on too! Pics don't do the spoilers justice. Trunk spoiler is about 3" long and 2" high and roof spoiler is about 5" long. HUGE!

Collage is for loosers

A lil progress. Got the wheels on! Had a issue with a headlight and had to send them out to be re-cleared after masking tape peel it off on the bumper install... damn. Gotta get that fitment setup right. Front needs a lil more roll and pull and ordered upper camber arms for the rear. Lower I don't wanna pull out any further than I have too.
