Bought this 07 type s from a neighbor, crashed. He didn’t have insurance on it so the title is clean - non salvage and the carfax shows 0 accidents. I replaced the subframe and suspension, but now I don’t know what to do with it, can’t really afford the body work LOL
I drive the hell out of this thing lmao. I did all the work myself, it’s drives AWESOME. Cold ac, doesn’t pull in any direction, shifts perfect. Even the destroyed doors window goes up and down a little as well as locks. Can’t beat Honda, what an awesome car. Sucks I can’t do body work myself. Just needs too much work. I’m gonna dump it and take a financial loss.

Its not. The unibody is tweaked. Hit right in the door fender seem. A body shop could maybe pull it, but I THINK the correct fix is to cut the car apart and use a donor piece of unibody. Idk. I should have just passed lol. It’s drives perfect looks terrible and needs a lot of interior work
What all did you do to get up to $4500 into this car without any body work??
Subframe
steering rack
Both front struts
all the front end ball joints
all 5 motor and transmission mounts
all four brake rotors and pads
engine service
rims (it had base model TL wheels only when I bought it)
steering wheel airbag
black center console (the original one broke in the accident)
Those damn lug nuts.
like I said, I fell in love prematurely. I’ve had the car for two years, they were worth way more a few years ago. I saw a high mileage type s for $5500 on Craigslist. Sucks for me, this turd isn’t worth anything.

To fix that damage is going to be another 2-3K in paint and bodywork so you are probably better selling it as is or parting it out to recoup some money. You can list a ton of parts on ebay! Shipping is the worst part....
