Someone made a left turn right into my path after Thanksgiving. I couldn't stop on time and plowed into the car. My Odyssey basically T-bone a ' 99 Honda Civic hatchback, luckily at slow speed. The airbags did not go off. The Odyssey sustained bumper damage, cracked passenger headlamp, bowed up passenger fender. Initial estimate is ~$4K. The car is currently at Honda dealer collision center. Estimator already gave me a somewhat negative outlook, he said bumper color will not match as it may have different tone after painting; he also stated no factory car is perfect, especially the front bumper cover attachment to the car body. I see what he's saying for the bumper fit and finish as I've seen several '12 Odyssey's on the dealer lot with poor to good alignment and gap measurement.
Any advice to ensure the repair is done right?
