You can get a new rear bumper from www.partmartone.com for like ~$80 shipped....

They'll even do the painting for you, and that's even pretty cheap...
Wow, that place is great! I forsee my whole car turning primer black/bare urethane :exnbp: . The mirrors are a little pricey tho. I need a passenger side mirror.

Is that where you got your bumper from? Good service?

ok it got taken to another place today for another estimate

its called foreign auto body and they do mostly costum work but they do oem jobs also and my friend's mom (always gets into accidents) says they do good work and i agree.

their estimate::

1. repair front bumper
2. replace rear bumper
3. new rear bumper rear cushion
4. paint

total in parts:: $2xx
total in labor:: $3xx
additional costs:: $1xx


total was 6hundred something pretty big difference

both places up to this point haven't noticed my bumper support being bent in like the picture indicates i'm gonna get one more estimate (this time mentioning the bumper support) and we'll see if it gets fixed

One option might be to find a used bumper support from a junkyard. Of course, you'll have to find one that wasn't hit in the rear too.

if you're looking for OEM parts, i had a GREAT deal from a shop in Virginia. I picked my parts up so i saved on shipping, but they use greyhound for shipping, so you have to pick up at a greyhound terminal. I paid $390 for a OEM hood, front bumper cover, and radiator support, all painted to factory color code. it would've been $120 to ship it all through Greyhound, which is damn cheap for shipping a freakin HOOD! not to mention a bumper cover. if you wanna know how to contact the guy, PM me. he does all his business through EBAY, because that's the only way his boss will let him do it, but he can do some good deals on multiple parts.

Damn, I only paid $1000 for my entire car! You can find someone to do it for cheaper, but Honda is probably the best quality wise.

going to Honda for repairs = wiping your ass with fifty dollar bills.
