ok so this is the front end. i spent less then 2 hours working on it. i pulled the bumper off, bent the mounts back straight then fit the bumper back on and adjusted it till it looked good. i also added 5 washers on each side to the top 2 bolts up front. the insurance company gave me $1,300 to get it fixed. i decided to try to fix it my self and poket the money. i still have to do the rear end. thats next. here are some before and after pics of the front. let me know what you guys think.

Smart. I did the same with the wifes accord. 1st time she got rear ended, we pocketed the cash. Gave us 700, I had my body shop at my work remove it, painted it for about 100 bucks. a year or 2 later she got rear ended again. this time it was about 1300 worth damage. Spent about 400 for a oem Like replacement and paint.
