Default jdm front? or carbon fiber hood n new fenders?

okay i decided to keep my crx and fix it up, since i be attending college for auto body.

the major problem with my car is the hood n fender have alot of dent and rust. and the rest of the body got some rust.
so should i get a jdm front conversion (700 plus shipping) for my crx OR get a carbon fiber Sir style hood and new fenders (800 plus shipping) ??

Default go with carbon

I found real sad thing.
I surfed yahoo.co.jp auction, and found CRX SIR 90 or 91 model with tons of JDM mods being sold for 700 bucks. The set of rim here even used could cost 700 bucks!!!

That's how cheap those cars are in Japan.
So, go for Carbon hood. Don't get ripped off !!!!

when I had my 96 civic I wanted a body kit at first. but when I saw my friends' cars with kits they always had to worry about where they drive because of the roads, I said forget it. their car spent more time in the shop getting touched up rather than on the street. i say go with the carbon fiber.
