accident.... f#ck
so title says it all. it was my fault. i was a stop sign looked left and did not see a car coming then looked to my right and saw a vehicle at a stop, then i went froward, when all of a sudden i see a red car cross my view then pow. the red car got hit near the back wheel, car almost spun but luckily it didn't. where i was position was at a circle round a bout. i was in one of the lanes not connected to the circle.
the only major damage to my car is the front bumper. my acura grill seems a little roughed up but it can manage. i was wondering if any other person has been in the same position, how much would it cost to fix the front bumper?
also instead of buying a regular replacement front bumper, i was thinking of buying an aftermarket part. would it be better or should i just stick with the regular front bumper? thanks for the help
*pics suck because i took them with my phone

04711-SEC-A90ZZ FACE, FR. BUMPER (DOT) 2005 $258.47 - unpainted. To paint is roughly $300 (I was quoted this years ago to professionally respray my bumper).
I haven't checked out OEM replacement bumpers, but there's times the fitment isn't as good as Honda.

sorry for the long wait in responding.. here is an update of the situation. lol
so this accident happen with the photos at the top.. and two days after some dumba$$ excuse my language allowed their car to cruise down a small hill, in a parking lot small hill, and it creased a dent in my trunk and scratched my back bumper....
okay so i took it to the body shop to have it estimated. they have it now and told me the estimate for the front bumper was around $2,300ish and the back bumper and trunk $1,300ish.
reasons for the bumper was that that bumper needs replacement, the lights are "broken", they were moved out of position after the collision, but im assuming you can align those back,??? they turn on a night and work fine.. i have seen no damaged from the lights, and also the absorber from the bumper needed to be replaced.. and to answer your question about the airbag, they did not deploy.
the reason for the back bumper was paint job on bumper, since barely was any dents in the bumper, and i think the trunk is being changed..
the way the money works is i pay the $250 deductible for the front bumper, which was my fault, and then a $250 deductible for the back bumper, that incident was not my fault, do i still have to pay that deductible.?

yes you have to pay the deductable for the rear bumper even though it wasnt your fault, unless the person who hit you has the same insurance company you do then they will wave it. you will have to pay it and then their insurance company should reimburse you back, deductable and cost to fix the back end
