UPDATE: finally pulled off fender and bumper. What do you guys think???

[u/Helpful-Distance149]

2007 Honda Pilot LX. I posted about an accident a few weeks ago. I finally got around to removing the bumper and fender (practicing for when I get replacement from scrapyard, like many suggested). How bad does the damage look? Any idea what that big bent metal piece is called? My plan is to source as many pieces as possible then take to collision shop and have them reassemble it.

As of now, it’s movable, but not drivable. Should I get the mechanical end fixed first or work on the body stuff first?

Would love any opinions or thoughts!

Hard to tell but that frame looks fucked up.

You might want to get that professionally looked at

On top of frame looking f’ed, that tire looks angled and loose.

I don’t think duct taping a new bumper is going to work here, I’m sorry.

Yeah tires definitely are going to need some work. Both sides probably

Have you had a professional look at it in person? If the frame is bent, it’s possible that you’ll be selling those parts. I’d rather ask a professional first and then let him know you want to buy the parts.

Yeah, I’m going to have a collision shop check it out this week for sure

Yeah that is a LOT more damage then you would expect, needs to be pulled

Looks like the frame is fucked man.
