2004 Honda Civic 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 39k miles
^A pic of the damage. 2004 Civic EX.
I was doing about 25MPH then hit a thick patch of "loose gravel" (thank you, CalTrans). The car veered left suddenly, so I had to pull back into my lane. I obviously over-corrected or *something* - although I had the brake pedal floored, the car seemed to almost speed up. Long story short I ended up hitting a shallow dirt embankment.
I'm most concerned about getting that edge hooked back under the front of the car (I can't do it by hand). The underside I'm less concerned about; it's bent, but the pad is also damaged. Thankfully all the damage is cosmetic. Shops are quoting around $500 (I found the bumper for sale online for $50-$100), but that's basically my deductible. What kind of tools would I need?
Thanks everyone!
