dunno? i think he just needs a replacement cuz of the accident

 

I need to replace the hood because of the accident.
Carbon fiber hood looks sporty and don't need to be painted so..

 

Our cars do not have a frame. Its a unibody. However you can call the rails that the side aprons are attached to frame rails but there is no true frame. Any shop with a good frame machine can get the specs and pull it straight and either replace whats messed up or straighten it out and reinforce it. Our radiator support however is a composite matterial but it bolts up so thats and easy part to replace. Where are you located? If you want it to be like new you will have to replace the airbag computer, bags, and possibly the seat belts

Is Unibody cheaper to fix than frame? Do you think my 'rails' got damaged?
I want to post pics but towingcompany still has the car.

 

Yea your too far from me. Post pics when you can and i can give you a better idea. Its hard to say whats cheaper to fix. Some shop wont mess with frames and what not. Your bags could of blown without even causing alot of damage to any of the stucture. I cant remember where the sensors are located. Just post pics and go from there.

 

I hit a deer going ~60 mph and caused this much damage. The front fiberglass frame slightly cracked on the passenger side.

 

Thank you

I will post photos as soon as I pick it up

 

I am so worried about the car
I just heard from my friend who got in accident with his Altima that he paid $8k for repair. He said just both airbags were $2k eventhough they were used one. Airbags are that expensive? I hope he repaired his car at Nissan dealership..

 

I don't think dealerships are allowed to install used parts at all...especially airbags. I think when it comes to airbags, standard policy is to replace all the blown bags with new units as well as replace the airbag module.

Too much liability to take a risk with a used bag.

 

You mean that new airbags are more expensive than $2k?
I can't afford if repairing costs like $5k or $7k..

I was expecting like 500 for aftermarket bumpers, 500 for aftermarket hood, 1000 for airbags, and 1000 for other stuffs, so total around $3000

 

I don't know what the price of new bags is. I think it depends on the model and make and which bags.

Call up a dealer for pricing.

 

The pictures I posted above show $10,000 of damage.

If your front fiberglass frame is not cracked you will save a lot of money. Just the passenger air bag replacement was ~$2300 before labor.

 

Where did you repair your car? dealership?
I think my accident was worse than yours, I remember the hood was more bent than the car in the picture you posted.

If my car got $10k of damage like you, I will not able to repair it. My auto insurance only covers liability which mean I need to pay for repairing my car. I don't have $10k and I don't want to spend $10 to repair $10k value car.

I don't know what to do now..
All I can do is wait until monday.
I really regret I save money for my auto insurance.

 

Post pictures!!! Is your fiberglass frame damaged? You could just replace the air bags for now, everything else is cosmetic.

A local shop repaired my damage...

 

Towing company said they don't open on sunday..
Car will be towed to the shop tomorrow.
I really want to see the condition right now but i can't..
