Default Got in an accident

Eh, how unfortunate. First accident ever, def don't wanna go through that ever again. Hit on Bell Rd. Glad to report, not at fault. Ended up getting hit by some lady who happened to be prego.. she said she was fine but I insisted on getting her checked out from the fire department, so glad to report shes ok as well. I ended up getting a nasty migraine, so I got checked out at ER. I have the hardest time explaining how this happened but I think she failed to yield and I was hit. From the looks of it, I think it could be repairable. Maybe you guys will know more. Taken with the worst phone ever made, T-Mobile Dash so sorry for the crappy pics. She was driving a Nissan Versa, and jeeze its like the front end of her car said screw it and all fell off. Surprised that the headlight plastic didn't crack or anything.

No prob. I was thinking to bring it to the dealer for repairs? Thinking its Honda, and they will use OEM parts/paint they would do a better job than any shop.. but im not to sure it that is true. What do you guys think? Dealer for repair or professional shop?

On insurance dime. But you think professional shop over dealer? I just don't want some aftermarket crap from bumper which has gap between the headlights and such.

Yeah thats what I meant. I would personally recommend professional shops, as long as you make sure they know what they are doing and where they source their parts.

I hope I have a say in what gets put on. If they go for a regular AP1 bumper I'll grab a front attachment and have that sprayed at the same time if I could

As long as insurance is paying this is the shop to use. They will only use parts from the dealer and they can match paint like no one else can.
