OK my boyfriend crashed my honda accord today into a wall...instead of a car. So what I can see so far that damages is this: fender totaled...wheel-well cover...totalled, front bumper fixable, hood fixable. Tire bent in...rim messed, so probably means suspension or something that is attached to the wheel is bent up. The airbags went off and busted the front window.
OK so now I ask...do you have to replace the airbags? I mean could he do that further down the road cuz they are hella expensive from what I searched. But then the covers to the airbags would be messed up. Were besides ebay are some good place to get front left head light and left fender, and wheel-well cover? I hope the rim isn't total cuz it's a discontinued style (niche bella 17') and I don't know if I could find only 1 to buy...so that would be 4 new rims! Where should we start?

yes, you have to replace the air bags.

 

phew, is he ok?

I got rear ended in OCT 06, I didnt get a scratch in my Accord.

 

Usually a car gets total after airbags deploy.
It's a golden rule of collision mechanics.

 

Why wouldn't you fix it if it runs fine? And also we just put a replaced engince in 2 months ago! We will be fixing this car. Why wouldn't you just replace the air bags? I only have liablity on the car so no insurance is paying for this..it's all out of pocket.

 

I think you need a new boyfriend, HOLLA

 

YA I think so too!

 

new boyfriend and new car LOL

it is illigal to drive your car without the airbags<---true story.

majestichonda and tasauto are good store to get honda parts.

 

Does it run with all these damages?

How is that possible that bumper and hood are fixable if air bags deployed?

It is usually cheaper to buy these parts at a local junkyard and repaint them than trying to repair dameged ones.

Also, you will need to replace SRS control unit. Once SRS unit open airbags you have to replace it with airbags. I would check ebay for set of airbags and SRS unit. I've seen them there cheaper than at online stores.

 

Replace the boyfriend for sure. LOL, did he atleast say sorry? Air bags are going to be expensive, but it is fixable.
