Your insurance company can help you with that.
I'm sure a dealership is the best place to get these parts anyways.

its not claimed through insurance, I dont need rates going up.
dealership steals from you of course, so I guess I'm SOL.

What did you hit?
Pics?
If that damage is bad enough for all those parts I would go through insurance despite the rate increase. I mean, you're not paying them thousands a year for nothing you know.

Does your insurance company offer you the first claim clear (or at a negligable increase)? If you aren't sure, call your rep and ask a hypothetical question. When I was with Belair Direct (gak, horrible) and now Allstate it was that way... My Allstate rep told me a few years ago that if the damage is less than $1/2k, it's best to fix it myself. If it's more, put it through insurance.
Worth looking into, anyway.
Best of luck!

I hit another car, a truck and there was no damage, no claim, no exchange of information.
and the reason I'm not turning it in is because in the past year me and my family have probably made 3-4 claims, not to mention they just had to pay for my totalled S2000 LAST month.

not to be mean but u REALLY gotta leave a distance between you and the car in front of you. One of the worst things is tailgaters. 
Newho. do you know of any frame damage (rad support, radiator, etc) or is it just the fenders, hood, bumper and headlights. I'd say talk to ben @ aj-racing and get a jdm conversion from him. If u don't wanna go jdm conversion, you can get replacement fenders, headlights and bumper from honda and order a seibon cf hood cuz its roughly the same price.

Ok, what I think you meant to say was you left your car parked on the street last night came out in the morning and that's what your car looked like.
Now call your insurance.

You do realize this is insurance fraud, right? Besides, if the damage total is over the surcharge threshold, regardless of whether it's your fault or not, you'll get surcharged for the accident. Also, companies look at frequency of claims w/i a set period of time when determining rates for premiums, so you still may have an increase even if you don't get surchargedfor a specific incident.
I work for an insurance company, so I see this kinda thing every day.

The day insurance companies start giving me the money back every year that they don't use for fixing my car I will start to give a **** about defrauding them.
Pay an insurance company $2000.00/year for 5 years... get in one accident and they pay to fix your car say $3000.00. Now the insurance company wants to charge you $2500.00/year.... it's a bullshit practice and should be illegal. You want more money? take it out of the $7000.00 pure profit you made off me in the 5 years.

I think you need to drive a crappier car until you learn to drive.

It's a service required by law in almost every state. They raise your rates to profit yes, but also to make up for the added risk if you continue to screw up. I think it's unfair if they raise rates for things that aren't your fault (ie, flooding, theft), but otherwise it's fair game.
No matter how unfair you think it is, it doesnt excuse lying to the company about what happened. If it really bothers you, lower your level of insurance to the bare bones legal requirement.
Anyway OP, if you want genuine honda parts i'd try hondapartsdeals.com or hondaautomotiveparts.com, they usually offer the best prices. And for chrissake get your family's **** together...4 claims in the last year?
