Rough test fit. The alignment wasn't what I was originally after but in the end, it worked out well.

After 7 years and finally getting the car setup the way that I wanted. Some dipshit decides to make a left turn in an intersection while I was almost in the middle with the right of way.

Sorry to hear bro. From the looks of it, it seems easily repairable (no frame damage etc).
But these days with most parts being unavailable with no ETA available, I can see the reason they totaled it off.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who appreciates all you've contributed to this forum

Dang bro! I'm glad you're OK otherwise.

Sad to see you go. I always liked the stuff you did on your car.

What is that new ride? I can't tell if its an Accord or a Civic – or something else – I can't tell what year it is.

Did the Fit's air-bags inflate?

Fair market value is probably more than $10,000. US. $10,000 to replace the bumper cover, pull ouot or weld on new body parts, bang out any small bumps in the hood, replace both headlight assemblies with Made In China (MiCH) assemblies. Replace parking light assemblies.

So – I can't tell for sure but I don't see any damage to the hood. Minor damage can be bumped out. I can't tell if the windshield has any cracks in it. The urethane rubbery bumper cover looks like it is rather well-smashed. You can probably get an MICH aftermarket replacement for much less than a genuine Honda one, Maybe for roughly about $100 US instead of $300. And MICH headlight assemblies, too. What's the Radiator like? Suspension parts? if suspension parts aren't damaged I'd bet someone will "un-total" it and put it back on the road, possibly in central america
