    Front End Damage

    Rear ended someone on the freeway, what would the repair cost look like for this?







    Is it even worth fixing?

    Need to figure out what to do, because riding my motorcycle in the freezing weather sucks lol.

    I"m fixing exactly the same thing on my car. Take the valence off and get a 2x4 and cut it to a couple different lengths to use as a dolly, then a ballpeen hammer and a regular flat hammer and a dead blow, and whatever else you can use to pound metal.

    be patient and do it yourself. if you got it that far you can get it all the way fixed. just look at the other side for comparison and bend the metal accordingly. it's not bad at all. and the valence is saveable as it's damaged where it's unseen.

    look up youtube metal fixing videos

    good luck. please do this yourself.

      ^ this, I had the same thing happen but at ~35mph . As long as its not damaged beyond the strut tower you should be good by fixng it yourself. My situation was a 2.5-3k repair cost, instead took me 3 hours and ~$150. Everything ended up lining up perfectly and can only tell where new part are slightyly off color.
