Instanced Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Glad everyones ok... looks like the hood is good to go... but the pass headlight sits under it??? How's the insides? looks like the whole front bumper pushed everything forward 3-4 inches... and looks like driverside fender is toast... how's passenger side? upgrade time (foglights) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-teknien- Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 Hood is actually fine. Both headlights have cracks. both fenders are done, bumper, grill, rad support, inner drivers side fender, plus what ever else we couldn't see do to the hood not being able to be opened! and the drivers door will need a little paint do to the fender rubbing up against it.

MadMontie1 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 That front end is swayed WAY over...that's probably $3-$4k, if not more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadMontie1 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 and now that I look at it, that's a 3 stage white pearl paint I think..which means it'll cost more to simply paint it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDan Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 It'll just buff out. I'm a walking testimony to the strength of Subaru body design. I was rear ended by a 7000 lb 1t crewcab dually pickup. I was stopped in traffic, and the truck lost it's brakes doing about 50 mph, there was a Crown Vic in front, I became a Subie sandwich. I was hurt, but not real bad, I drove the car to my shop afterwards. Had I been in a similar sized import, I don't think I would have walked away.

compsurge Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 zip ties and bondo will fix that no problem Glad everyone is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakabakablah Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Zip ties and Bondo? Pfft, weaksauce. Today I saw something that I'd never expected anyone to do (naively)... it was an older Acura that got into a similar accident like the OP's girlfriend and their solution to the bumper not fitting right (or at all) was using a couple of L-brackets and some self-tapping screws to attach the bumper to the headlights. How they plan on keeping the headlight condensation-free is a mystery to me but I suppose that's the least of their problems... But back on topic, was she not going fast enough to set off the airbags? Looks like there was a fair amount of energy involved in the crash...

-teknien- Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 angle was off to deploy the bags This... ^ She said it was around 30mph. Changing lanes in heavy snow and slush. It was a sideways impact. The frame rails were not touched, its all fender and bumper. Hence the reason the airbags didn't deploy. I was actually really concerned about the airbags not going off until we really looked at what happened! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
