Front bumpers, color codes, and other body work.
My Civic sedan has about $1200 in body damage... Bought it that way... What can I say, I needed a car ASAP and it was marked down to $1500 from $2500...
I need a front bumper, rear bumper, hood and trunk lid to make it look normal, but I am not spending as much as I paid for the car on it...
The existing parts aren't BAD, they're just banged up pretty good...
Rear bumper: Cracked on driver's side, hanging off.
Front bumper: Smashed in middle, plastic is bent up.
Trunk: Dented where it's double layered, pounded it out fron the inside, partially, now it's rusting through where the paint flecked off.
Hood: Dented right up front where it's double layered. It's also detatched from the skeleton.
Inside, where the spare tire goes, it's also dented inwards. (Apparantly hard rear end collision.)
Unibody isn't bad, as the alignment specs are good... Just the body sucks...
I've read about the Coupe bumpers on sedans and I like it as I want some OE fog/driving lights too.
Are the hatch back bumpers the same as coupe bumpers?
Also, are coupe trunk lids the same as sedans? (I might want a spoiler, havent decided though... Not some bookshelf, just an OE style... Haven't seen sedans come originally with spoilers.)
Also, were coupes or hatchbacks offered in Dark Blue? I've only seen sedans (And a LOT of them in this area.) in that dark, metallic, blue. I forget the paint code.
