Default Candy paint
So ive had my Si for a four years now, live in Wisconsin so its seen some winters... this February i do my little inspection of the car and find its starting to rust



Until the unexpected happens! T-bone (not my fault) FTW!

doesnt look like much damage but the frame was worked on for a week so im assuming it was pretty bad?
I got 3900 from the insurance
I have a buddy that does body work he said 2900 for new front end, pull frame and paint my entire car except bay. Any color
I had money left over for H&R Sport Springs which i picked up used for 40 bucks
Mugen Pedals (New) and Skunk 2 Gold LCA's (New) and a fresh set of Polished Rota Slips 16" (Some what used)
I started thinking candy apple but had a custom color made instead....

heres pics

To answer why I have not front lip. I have a mugen front lip and type r rear lip. Car still needs to be wet sanded. Then install lips
