Not just the condenser, but also the radiator. The plastic lower core support was destroyed, a metal bar was missing, and one of the A\/C lines was very bent out of shape, though not broken. The bumper had already been taken off, so I didn&#8217;t get a good look at it, but it was probably pretty well destroyed too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mechanicalmalarkey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/2021_05_23_02.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mechanicalmalarkey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/2021_05_23_02.jpg?w=800\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5458\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then, a day or two later, I had a red Civic in for service that had very similar front end damage. I didn&#8217;t notice when it was on the ground, then I lifted it and when I turned around from my toolbox I was surprised to be staring at a gaping hole in the bottom of the bumper.
