I hit the center divider at around 30mph. My headlights popped out of place, the tabs are broken. My front bumper is screwed up, and slightly shifted to the left passenger side. I can tell because the headlights don't align correctly with the bumper. How do I tell if the frame is bent? Is it just the reinforcement bar that got shifted? Please help, I don't have full coverage and I'm going to have to end up fixing this myself. I need to replace my hood, front bumper, 99.5 headlights, and rear bumper. My car is laser red so if you guys have any of those parts in the norcal area please e-mail me. Thanks in advance for the help.

you take it to a frame specialist.

damn man....really sorry to hear

they are part of the frame, you may or may not have bent them. You are looking at the following for repair cost:

Hood: 470 new + paint carbon fiber is like 419 and it's lighter/ stronger...
Lights: 244 a peice (300 for a pair of ecodes and it's an upgrade)
Bumper: about 400 IIRC
Rear bumper: ?
radiator is probably screwed: 130
miscellaneous cost: 500 or so...

If you are wise you can shop around online and get this stuff much cheaper. Junkyards are good, see what people are willing to part with as well.

BTW, check the classifieds for all this stuff see what people are willing to do.... you may luck out and get out for around 1500+ painting instead of 2-3K + painting. Sorry for you man...

Where can I see these pipes? Are they just at the top? Thanks...

Well I would like to check myself if possible...I have to pay for everything myself

there sounds like frame damage... at 30 mph.. cars get totalled at that speed.

azndrunk74

ok, looked at the pipes, they are straight.

maybe it wasn't 30...my car spun out a couple times before hitting the center..felt the impact..
