estimate for front bumper and grill

i got in a car accident yesterday (small fender bender) and i need to get my front bumper and grill replaced (along with the front acura symbol). anyone have any idea on how much this would cost?

im such an idiot. on my way home from work, i was stopped at a light in one lane traffic and i reached for my water bottle and my foot released from the brake and went straight into the towing mechanism of the pathfinder in front of me. everyone was stopped in traffic and i didnt press the accelerator so i couldnt have been going more than 3-4 mph but the damage to my car is a lot more significant than the pathfinder who is just going to need a new towing mechanism.

first car accident in 7 years. F$#@!!!!!!

the worst thing is if it was a sedan, i think both our bumper would have hit and just bounced off of one another. because mine is a sedan and the other is an SUV, the higher ground clearance on the SUV destroyed my front bumper.

That's totally crappy, dude. What I would do in your case is contact the official Acurazine vendor at hondacuraworld (I think his name is Tim; I've never personally dealt with him) and see what they can do for you. Another option is Acura of Escondido, which is where I bought all my grill pieces. I didn't buy a bumper, though, which I'm guessing will be the most expensive thing to replace out of the things you listed.

Sorry to hear about your unfortunate accident.

that sucks. i've done that a few times but have been able to stop myself before making contact. good luck with the fix, and i know lots of people are happy with Tim's service.
