Default Civic front end advice

Well as some of you know last night the front end of my car was messed up by a telephone pole wire, and my hood and lights and front right panel were damaged. Anybody got any suggestions on what I can do to my front end now? I know i'll be getting some vision corners and a VIS CF hood. But cosmetically wise i'm not too familiar with front ends. BTW I have a 92 hatch.

Thanks.

if it were me, i'd simply get a CF hood, replace the bumper with one of the "certi-fit" bumpers (really affordable), and replace the fender......you COULD replace the headlights, but i'd rather keep the stock glass beam-patterned headlights (these are VERY easy to find in the classifieds/ebay)......and smoked amber corners sound good too....good luck with the fix, and keep us posted with pics bro

BASICALLY::::replace all damaged parts with OEM parts EXCEPT for the corners/hood

Thanks, that's basically on the track that I was thinking. I got the number for a local certifit place but I guess they aren't open on Sat. They didn't pick up the phone. But one thing I heard was don't buy the bumper from certifit. The bumper isn't seriously damaged just little scratches going up the front right side. No paint it chipped, it's just...smeared I guess it the word i'm looking for.

If the bumper isn't cracked or bent out of shape you can probably just have it repainted.
