Ok been working things out all day. I am going to repair the car and was able to go through a hook up of one of my good buddies. As it stands, I will be paying $3500 (estimated) after tax for a repair of the car with all labor included and parts with the exception of the hood.

So that leaves me $1250 to spend. I need to find a carbon fiber hood first off. I also will probably use some of the money to have them buff out or paint over my bumpers where I have some scratches. IF I have enough money to do it, I really want to find a CTR front and rear lip, and get my side skirts painted. Oh yeah, I have to pay for a rental out of this too. Cash is gonna be tight to get this done, and I'll prolly go over a bit.

You can disregard my previous posts at this point. If you can point out a good spot to get the hood and lips cheap, I would greatly appreciate it.

Also, how do the Z3 fenders look on the civics? I have never seen a pic of them actually installed on a civic. Are they hideous?

Finally, what do you think of the OEM skirts painted as opposed to doing aftermarket?

Thanks in advance.
