hit a guard rail - Honda Prelude Forum

nuke79 · 02-04-2005, 08:13 AM

I live in the Washington D.C. area, and hit a guard rail on the way home from snowboarding....thought I could take a corner at 50.....nope...dont think the tires were warmed up enough,,,,BFG g force... my headlight is smashed, front right fender is bent, door is bent...and back right.... also my back right tire hit the guard rail on the other side of the road, and cracked my rotor...the toe and camber are way off, but was able to drive it 140 miles home after the accident.

if anyone knows a good shop around this area please reply. I think I can get the parts from a friend at cost, just need to get the car fixed..

I have a 5th gen base 5 sp.

thanks

BF G-Force tires are awesome too... but then again, you took a turn pretty fast. Sounds kind of like my accident 3 weeks ago with my parents car :s

best tires in the world + Ice = crash

i had a little less damage than that when i rear ended someone...my headlight, front bumper, side fender, hood, and small parts had to be replaced

cost me 2,200.

LudEnthusiast · 02-05-2005, 11:05 AM

Is your rear quarter panel messed up? If so that's $2,200 in damage by itself. That should cost well over 4 grand in damage

Sorry to hear, post some pictures.

nuke79 · 02-05-2005, 08:00 PM

yea back right quarter is messed up also.....2200 just for that...damnnnn can I get a second on that cost...might get a civic and throw my h22 in it...

I have about 4 grand saved right now, will this cover the costs.....

anyone know a good shop around the DC area....thanks again...I'll post pics soon....

Cjanik · 02-05-2005, 08:09 PM

do you not have insurance?

nuke79 · 02-05-2005, 08:27 PM

no collision insurance....only pay 450 a year.. I will get collision when everything is fixed though....I learned the hard way.

soooooo. nobody knows a good/cheap body shop around DC..... BOb you know any place around here?? thanks

h22 bb6 · 02-07-2005, 06:10 PM

I'm gonna guess $5-6k based upon what's been listed in this thread. Sounds like the damage is pretty extensive.

po0p · 02-07-2005, 06:21 PM

^ i agree with that guesstimate

pwhitesleeper · 02-07-2005, 06:29 PM

i know some cheap asian owned body shop in annandale. you got any pics? how bad was it damaged?

nuke79 · 02-07-2005, 11:37 PM

I can get parts at cost...just need to pay for labor and repainting....I'll even sand and prime everything....guess I need to borrow a digital camera...Ill post up tomorrow .I used to live in Annandale,live in Centreville now, so that that will be perfect please PM the number...

a lot of the work for the rear quarter panel will be welding it and smoothing that out...augh...that sux mang hope everythink goes ok...this is a very good reason why my prelude will never see a snowboarding trip /story

nuke79 · 02-10-2005, 12:33 PM

got a RF fender for $143, needed a new hub assembly for my back right, bent that bish....and a new door skin for $216.... soooo looks like I'll need that rear quarter....and seems like what everyone has said is that, thats the most expensive...thanks for everyone that posted
