My truck in March of last year when I "t" boned that Acura was in pretty bad
shape frame and front dog house wise. My frame was over 4 inches off toward
passenger side(because of my tow hooks). $4k later my truck looked like it
rolled of the showroom floor. No drive issues or visual problems at all. A
year later my only issue is the front door hinges have com loose. So I will
likely replace the door hinge elements and ahve them rewelded.
