Bad day for the CRV

No sooner as we get one Honda back from the shop hitting a rock that rolled into the road during a thunderstorm the other daughter rear ended a truck in Phoenix with her CRV. It is mostly just plastic damage. Is there an easy way to get things like the bumper cover, lower plastic, inner fender plastic an all the proper push pins to install it all or do I just have to dig through the parts book and figure out what I need? 2015 CRV. Not going to do an insurance claim on this one as we get one freebee claim without effecting our rates. Not going to risk it with this, I can fix this one.

There's not really a kit type listing that will have everything needed. JC Whitney has front end kits listed on eBay ( Evan Fisher, Car Parts Wholesale and others are actually JC Whitney), with some of the major panels needed, but the problem there is the bumpers will come folded and likely unusable. Honda parts are not very expensive OEM for most of the plastic parts other then the grille. I have used some of the $50 grille assemblies from ebay (HO1200224) and they usually fit good. I sell all the aftermarket parts you would need for that here in the Wisconsin area, but I do not ship, I deliver all my own parts. The Honda parts websites will give you the part numbers you will need for the little clips and fasteners, you can then find them in box quantity pricing on ebay or Amazon

Wow you are right, OEM parts are not expensive at all. Time to get busy.
 
My CR-V had a bad day on June 6th, when a road rage/exhibition driver in a TRX lost control of his truck attempting to pass me at about 70-75 mph in a 55 zone as close as possible to intimidate me. Then the azzhole lied to the police and claimed I tried to block him and ran into him !! My car got totaled and yes, it was the second claim we had made in 12 moths and our underwriter, Auto Owners didn't renew our policy this month. Still fighting this and had to get a lawyer to fight it in court...to be continued.

That looks like an easy enough fix. Two used doors if they can be found, some metal pulling at the quarter and some rear bumper repair.

Get busy :)
 
I would think they could see the direction of travel based on the scuff damage. To me, based on the photo, it’s obvious he hit you from the rear and bounced off.
 
Easy enough fix. Cleaning the rubber off will make it look 10x better. This is a perfect example of how great salvage vehicles can be. I hate the bad wrap they get..although I understand when you got the bad apples out there scamming people with their junk. But it’s made the general public think anything that was salvage was hit by a train or at the bottom of the ocean. I deal in salvage for a living by the way lol. And if this was my vehicle and I was selling it repaired with a rebuilt title and told them this is what happened they would call me a liar. “There had to be more” “they wouldn’t total it for that.” Even when I show them the proof. I get being cautious but I’m very upfront and extremely honest. Just my rant this was the perfect vehicle for it. I generally just let my vehicles sell themselves. No need to be pushy. The people that don’t believe me or are nervous about it I tell them it’s probably not the vehicle for them…no worries. But OP…sounds like a stinky situation. Looks pretty obvious what happened. Hopefully you can get it sorted out. Clean that rubber off and keep on trucking.
