UGH! My pristine '96 had a accident with a dip in the road in an poorly marked construction zone. My car dropped into a very steep gap in the road as I was crossing through an intersection in a construction zone. The bottom of my car SLAMMED into ground and made a teeth clenching thump sound. I was able to drive off but when I got out to inspect the damage, my chin spoiler was dragging on the ground and WORSE there was a 1 inch gap in the seam between my front fender (nose of the car) and my hood. The gap tapered from 1 inch on the drivers side to flush on the passenger side. Besides that, there is no visible damage.
The shop said the radiator core where the radiator sits and the hood latch also sits was bent upwards. Being that the NSX is an aluminum car, some people have told me my car is now totaled and that it's near impossible to get the frame shaped back. Assuming the Radiator core is part of the aluminum frame.
Is this true or is there hope for me. Would love anyone's thoughts on my predicament. I'm gonna go into to the shop tomorrow and take some pictures to post on here as well.
Thanks in advance for all your help.
