Hood Repair for 2014 Honda Civic?
I own a 2014 Honda Civic sedan
Basically got into a rear end accident with my cousin when she slammed her brakes on me, who drives a 2014 Nissan Rogue. She overreacted and I ended up paying the price for following her too closely
Luckily I didn't bash my car into hers but I did tap it real well.
My hood is about 80% and what I mean is that it's not even pushed backwards.
The front of the hood, where it meets the hood is bent downwards.
Think of the first joint in your finger bent and that would be my hood
Damage was minimal in my opinion but my grill along with my hood was bashed in.
However it is plastic so thats a given.
I was wondering what I could do and how much repairs would cost me for the hood and grill.
$1,500.00 for a new hood, new grill and color matching.
If the hood is creased it's not going to be worth trying to repair, more hours in labor to straighten it than it would cost to replace it.
You are assuming that its only the hood and grille. You need to take it to a body shop for an estimate just to make sure its safe to drive. When the hood is changed the paint has to be blended into the fenders to insure color match, but its more than just paint, parts that are attached to the panels have to be removed so there isn't over spray headed their way. The hood has crumple zones which make it collapse during an accident and most often it needs replaced versus repairing.
You can buy an OEM replacement hood for $686 right here.

Check around and you may find them cheaper. Also look for a hood that is already painted and ready to install. That would be the cheapest route you could go. As your car is a 2014 there would be no problem with the patin matching.

- How to repair a warped car hood? I hit a deer in my 92 Honda Del Sol, it will close and lock but comes loose an inch while driving. The driver side is raised a few inches, passenger side seems unaffected.
- What is better a 2014 Honda Civic or 2014 Toyota Corolla? I'm looking at these cars in terms of price and more "bang for your buck." Both seem interesting to me and I have yet to test drive them. The Honda Civic seems like it is the better car based on reviews but the newly redesigned Toyota Corolla looks better than previous versions and is slightly cheaper than the Civic. Which one should I consider looking towards? Please do not mention any other car, I'm only focused on these two at the moment.
- Should i buy a Scion 2014 or a Honda Civic si 2014 Sedan? I like both cars, My reason for liking the Tc is that the Car looks nice and its sport and inexpensive. However, The fact that its a Coupe and it only has 179 horsepower that just throws it off right there. I like the honda civic si because it offers 4 doors and its looks nice.
