Man, That SUCKS! That God nobody got hurt.

Just detailed mine, so I didn't take it out in the rain this weekend.

Stupid question, would the stability control in the new AP2's have prevent this from happening, especially in the rain. Just wondering since I do the same when getting onto ramps.

Sorry for your lost. Keep us in the loop about getting her fixed.

Bumpers should cost about the same so I would ask the shop, I see no reason they would not be able to do the AP2 front bumper cover, you just have to make sure the corners of the Steel Bumper support get shaved to keep the bumper from contacting it.

It's quite possible, but I wouldnt want to find out the hard way.

Yeah allstate said I could choose my own shop. So whatever shop agrees to it, gets the job.

I'm excited, but nervous at the same time to see the adjuster. I don't see any way they can total my car, which is what I'm not hoping for.

That is a bad spot for a hit, radiator support damage gets costly in hours. My concern is with the labor costs not really parts. If you want it done right and warrantied, Kuhn Honda.. On top of that Mickey is a car guy

Thanks fellas, the adjustor came out today and estimated $5k in damages. So no total and she will live to see another corner. Thanks for the support and suggestions guys.

I just got off the phone with Mike @ kuhn (real nice guy) and they said they can order the ap2 bumpers/headlights. However they won't do the modifications to make them fit. Has anyone around here done the mod(s)?

[Edit] ok I just looked up the mods and its not bad whatsoever
