Fucked up the CL last night

Well it still drives, but I last night fucking around I slide into a small sign and it tore up the passenger corner of the car. I definately need a new front bumper so would it be cheaper to get the WW front lip and how much do you all think it will cost to put on and get shit painted?

The front bumper and the WW lip are seperate pieces. It the bumper is damaged, your gonna have to get a new bumper and than the lip.

well i think I can get past this weekend the way things are, next weekend I can drive home get that area cleaned up, dried, and duct taped, from the inside. that way I can get in on that WW front lip group buy cause that will take some time arrive

i looked again and remember that last night I threw a piece of plastic in y trunk and i looked and its the the corner of the bumper.... that fucking sucks. do i need to replace the whole bumper now

im afraid to take pics of the damage.... but i guess I will take some

rmh.. your gonna need a new bumper...

do u like the look of the black widow kit? most people think its fugly.. but some people like it.. 1 new bumper costs $450 .. u should look into some custom bumper?

i heard most accord bumpers fit our cars with modifications.. u should look into it.

A new front bumper shouldn't be that much but you never know. I got a new front bumper for my brother's civic for $120. Why downgrade to an accord bumper. I think the CL bumper is much classier IMO.

When you say bumber do you mean the front fiber glass lip, or the super strong plastic bumper that goes along the front of the car under the body work?

dont know how to explain it anymore really...

replace everything infront of the front tire... and below the headlights..

the bottom piece of the front bumper and the top piece is all one piece..

the WW lip wont really cover up the damage u got..

ok i was looking at this shit more this afternoon and i understand now that the "lip" attached to the bottom of the bumper and i need to replace the bumper and lip, also what I though was the structural bumper "dark grey/black plastic" is actually the corner chunk of my air box, so now my air box is all fucked up...

on the way to a body shop this morning (hoping they would be open for an estimate) my car was shaking like a mother f.... so i pulled over, turned it off and cleaned out the snow from around the air box (this is when i discovered what i really broke) and it ran fine but now i have the fender liner hanging on the ground and against my tire

does anyone have an estimate of cost to get this shit all fixed so that when i start talking to body shops and insurance tomarrow I have a better idea of prices
