front end damage on 2000 si...
Man... Rear ending someone in a dropped car = bad news. I was on my way home from work, and the car in front of me stopped... I was almost stopped, like 5 feet and i woulda been.
Anyhow, the car i hit was an accord, and the guy saw that his car was fine and was like "man, that sucks... cya later, no insurance info needed". So i got a small break there...
What I'm gonna do is have a body shop fix all the mounting places (like headlight brackets, the radiator mounts, etc) and then get aftermarket parts to replace all the stuff that needs to be replaced.
I'm gonna get:
C/F hood
new headlights
a new front bumper (thinkin of a buddy club... i like the stock look)
Definitly need fenders. I dunno about Z3's (bit played out in my opinion) and i saw new ones called X1's or something, they look cool, but might be too extreme for my taste...
Any suggestions?
(PS I'll take/post some pics of the damage sometime soon)
Oh yeah... don't worry everyone... My Altezzas weren't damaged :naughty:

ohhh, ohhh!!!!
do a search on Domini or Acura EL
there's a front end conversion you can do that makes it look accordish. It's tight as hell.
it replaces everything you need, and you can order it online (can't remember the web site)

On a side note, I have a pair of 99-00 SI OEM stock headlights, which came out from my car after I put on JDM CTR headlights.
You can make me a reasonable offer if interested. Peace.

Yeah, i think i like the stock fenders. Definitly going to get a CF hood (how much does a VIS CF hood cost for a 2000 civic??)
I plan on tinting my altezza tailights so they look a bit different
I've only seen a few front ends i like. I really like the stock look, so I'm looking for something that doesn't scream "aftermarket". That acura conversion is cool lookin, but it's probably out of my price range.
It just kills me seeing my baby all banged up
