Damn! Glad you're ok, at least it's just the bumper.

Don't know where you're located but I have my stock 05 DG bumper that I'll let go pretty cheap. Just got the Kuruma Z bumper and my stock one is sitting in my spare bedroom. I'm in socal, pm me if you're interested.

EDIT: looks like you're in Canada heh

As everyone else has expressed.... could've been a LOT worse but, thank goodness it wasn't!!

NOW...... if you were ever considering getting a different bumper or fascia add ons, NOW would be the time to do it. Like they say, make a bad situation into something good.

i've seen my share of s#!t flying on the freeway before. had a carpet complete rip off my front lip once and I actually heard myself running over it with the front and rear tires. I am definitely for a new law fining idiots a lot of $$$ for causing danger and damaging other people's vehicles. i've seen tires, rugs, mattresses...idiots! Of course once in a while i'll catch a piece of ricer's left over like a whole bumper, wings, recently I even saw a whole carbon fiber hood laying in the middle of the freeway!

A "flying" surfboard flew off the car's roof that was about 3 car lengths in front of me and I ran smack into it...it "blew up" on impact. Luckily, it only put a few minor scratches on my bumper and hood of my Prelude...I was going 60+ mph...

I didn't get the driver's info either...I was in too much shock and in the middle of a 5+ mile two lane bridge with very small shoulders...wasn't worth the risk of pulling over IMO.

After the shock went away, I was in a rage like "what the >!#@".
