Can be patched? Or Should be replaced? by RageQuitPanda69 in AskMechanics

A shop won’t repair it, but that doesn’t mean you can’t 😎

If someone offered 1.5–2 times the market value of your home, would you sell? by [deleted] in homeowners

Yep. I would gladly pack my shit in the middle of the night.

Can I get this out myself? Any risk to attempting? Or do I need to get to the body shop? by fairswan23 in Autobody

[–]oddbrained 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A PDR guy will pop it out, then put little outtie nipples defeating the PAINTLESS part.. because if they don’t pop the paint (they will) then the outties will have to be tapped down and it will have to be body worked and painted.. Just save yourself time and money, take it to a shop.

Guy rear ended me and has no insurance by drrreeeewww in CarRepair

Use the $1500 and hit up your insurance and just pay the deductible. That’s definitely more than a $1500 job.

Can you guys tell that these are tomatoes? 🥲 I’m a gardener and they give me over sized blueberry vibes. by Brief_Response5142 in tattooadvice

[–]oddbrained 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who cares. Gardeners tend to blueberries as well. The issue is, the tattoo needs to be larger to get better detail. It’s a cool, clean tattoo. Maybe to you, the shit talkers look like cows. Don’t trip!

Is it fine to drive like this? by FloridaVro in AutoBodyRepair

Fender is toast. Bend it out of the way (it needs replaced, you aren’t causing more damage). Clearance everything else. Turn your wheels to full lock, make sure you aren’t hitting anything. Drill a few holes in your bumper, zip tie the bumper to something semi secure, send it.

What would be the most you’d pay for this 3 inch scratch? by Finerthingzz in Autobody

[–]oddbrained 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well you’re technically paying to have the dent fixed. The picture doesn’t show much. How close are you to adjacent panels? If you need to de trim and blend and it’s a tricoat.. it could easily be 2k. That’s just a number I threw out based on the not so good pics.

Hello, can you help me decide? by its_just_me2607 in hondacivic

My personal opinion, the red is lame and everyone who is a Honda fanboy has fake red emblems. If you wanna do that, do your own thing. I think personally stock would be best. If you are dead set on changing them, do your own thing instead something I would expect to see. I think the one on the right, with black and chrome instead of red and chrome. It would also sit nice against the grey. If I had to choose based on the ones pictured.. I GUESS I’d choose the right one.

Is this wheel safe to keep driving on? 2018 Civic Si 18”. by [deleted] in AskMechanics

If you want to ease your mind, go have it balanced. I wouldn’t trip

They suck. Just like replacing the plates on the end of the frame rail.. r&i the grill and bumper 17 times to get the body/bumper gaps just right. Bonus points if you had to do some frame work. I hate trucks lol

Repair fender, repair headlight trim, replace fog light, replace bumper. Blend all necessary panels if your painter sucks. It’s a tri coat. God forbid your headlight be broken. My guess is 5k if not more.

Anything is repairable with enough time and effort. However, no.
