I hate to make my first post a request for a favor, but I was backed into yesterday and am trying to determine if there is any damage. The only thing I am seeing may be the bar that the Honda Sensing module in the front bumper is mounted to. Could another 2018 owner compare the image I have posted to their vehicle and let me know if it looks the same on their car?

This image is the passenger side of the mounting bar just inside the front grill. I don't see any obvious bends, but the mount of the bar not attached to anything just looks off to me.

Thank you so much for your help!

Thank you so much for checking! I was thinking/hoping the same thing that I would have seen damage to the front radar and other items if that bar was bent. That mount point without anything attached just looks strange.

It felt like a decent smack, but I can't spot any other damage. The drive in front of me at a stop light thought they put their car in park, but put it in reverse instead and proceeded to text on their phone. Apparently they couldn't hear me honking.

My license plate got pretty bent up, but Honda made the front grill a pretty smart design. The grill is made to flex easily without breaking, which I think will save me from having to get it repaired. I am leaning towards Fired00d's recommendation to get it checked at the dealership anyways.

I got the car checked out today and there was no damage other than the license plate, so I lucked out. Thanks everyone for your help!
