Default Auto Parts Warehouse Sheetmetal?

My '94 Civic Si took some front end damage from a Jeep the other day.

Damage to the hood, fenders and bumper skin.

I got some $ from insurance, so I want to fix things up.

Has anyone bought and installed sheetmetal from Auto Parts Warehouse?

Hood for $187:

Fenders (driver & passenger), with molding holes for $165:

Front bumper skin, $135:
http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/sk...-6L/1367P.html

It looks like I can re-skin the front for less than $500 ($487), which sounds awesome, but would not be cool if the parts don't fit well.

Any feedback?

Thanks!

just look for CAPA certified, it has to meet OEM quality... Or just go to the junk yard. You could find all oem parts for about 100 bucks.

Thank you! I did check a local junk yard, the hood there had bondo over rust, so that seemed like stupid money... The second Civic had hood pins cut in.

Aftermarket wont line up just right but you can make it work. Just make sure to test fit everything first. If they fit like crap you can return them, There are places like LKO who sell OEM refurbished parts.

LKQ lists hoods @ $227 and $261 for aftermarket, no used parts:

LKQCorp > Inventory Search

and no mention if they are CAPA certified.

They have used fenders at $85/each.

Here are some CAPA certified parts at Get All Parts, fenders at $30? and hoods at $94?

Too good to be true?
