Don't park in angled parking spots...
 

You might be sorry like me.
I pulled into a parking spot (2006 Civic bought Aug.1) that is on an angle.
Because one cannot see the hood of the car, I hit the curb and
cracked my right bumper. A friend was able to put the bumper back in place and unless you run your finger on the crack or look at it real close you don't notice it.

This car was not designed to be parked in that type of space. :(

Anybody know where I could get a new bumper?:mad:

Uhhh, you should instinctively know how close you can come to things.

Yeah, the Civic is a pretty small car. I never pull all the way up.

This thread should have been titled "learn to drive before buying a new car". Leave the crack in the bumper, that way people will know not to park too close...

Seriously though, accidents happen, here's a link for the best price EX sedan, right? It's part number 1, 200 bucks +paint (maybe), I'm not sure if it's the A80ZZ or A90ZZ, your best bet is to call them and ask.

Thanks for the link to the bumper parts. I think I'll wait before replacing it because more can happen in the near future to make it more worth replacing.

By the way, it is not as easy to judge how close you can pull up to the curb in an angled spot. My parking spot is a straight one where I live and I can use the car next to me to judge. In an angled spot you can't do that.

dont drive gangstur and maybe you could see the hood of the car, and im sure honda designed the new civics so people would never park in angled spots in mind, your just another statistic that jersey has the worse drivers and highest insurance

Are you some sort of giraffe that can see the hood of the '06 Civic?

no but im not a midget either and sit upright while driving

Well, if you can see the hood of the '06 Civic you must be a giraffe.
