Wanting to know an approximation on how much it might cost to fix my car.
It is a 2009 Civic Vti.

Story:
Basically ran up a dirt lip on the drivers side. When reversing, it pulled off my splash guard on the driver's side and slightly dislodged the front bumper on the driver's side as well. I was able to push the front bumper back in flushly but the splash guard is sitting in my boot.

So, how much do you think it'll cost for the parts and the labour to repair it?

Should I get my insurance to pay or just pay it outright?
If I do pay myself, will it affect future insurance claims?

Thanks guys!

Do it yourself bud. not worth going thru insurance imo.

i say, fixit your self if your handy with tools, if your not, just take your time and learn in the process, youll save money and hassles with no car. unless the paint is damage and you want it perfect.

you shouldn't affect you future insurance claims, if an unfortunate accident happens and it gets damage again, they will just fix it.

so go for gold man. Good luck :)

Would you guys know where to purchase the splash guard to install? Because I it pretty much ripped the splash guard out.

Is it safe to drive without an underbody splash guard on the driver's side?

I would get a price from honda first.
