First accident last week, on my 2004 TSX :(
Had my first accident last week.. Been driving 9 years, maybe had a couple of scratches driving multiple cars. Life happens I guess, and luckily I was barely moving and the damage wasn't too serious. All fixed now but just wanted to share my experience..
Was merging onto a highway, in heavy traffic in the ramp. Following closely behind a Jetta, we both have an opening, ready to enter the highway, I go and check my sideview for traffic, and he decides to slam his brakes abruptly.
I avoid the direct hit by swerving left. Took out my fender, part of my bumper and headlight.. His stupid Jetta got a little scuff on the bumper. SMH

Here are the post-repair pics. I know a good body shop and was fully insured. Did get a nice new headlight (Made in Japan, Genuine). And had the body shop restore my driver side light and it looks new!

It looks good! At least you got a fresh new paint job on the front end for more miles of trouble free commuting.
We had our 06 TSX since new with only 2 door dings. We gave the car to our son for his 16th b-day in March/14 and it only took him two weeks before plowing into the someone at a stop light causing +$7000 worth of damage to the TSX. I now know why teenage boys have the highest insurance rates.

And yes, our insurance is crazy.
