Default Just got into a wreck... 06' BWB IS350

Yup. I just wrecked my car... Its not that bad, just some front end damage... Hopefully the damage isn't so bad... Anyone have any suggestions with the frame damage? Hood doesnt close... Where would i get the parts? :/

Ouch that's sad to look at. Are you going through insurance?

The damaged piece above your radiator looks to be the upper radiator support. It can be replaced separately, it just unbolts. Hopefully there is no additional frame damage. If there are no leaks and the car runs fine it may just be cosmetics once the radiator support piece is replaced...good luck

There are no true frames on these cars. They're unibody. That's not that bad a fix but I hope you have insurance to fix it or it'll cost a lot! Good luck

Yeah not bad at all like other said it just radiator support. Well look at it this way you might be able to upgrade the front end if you want too.

Report it to your insurance and take it to an approved body shop. Let the experts handle what they are supposed to handle.

Really sorry about the accident man... hope you r ok and ur insurance will cover it.
I think people are confusing with FRAME damage and BODY damage, Frame is the part that actually supporting your whole car, like suspension and stuffs. And Body is the part that are "outer protection" like fenders, hood, and so on that are replaceable without issues. So I assumed you meant "Body Damage".
