had an accident, fix the car or any other suggestion?
hi all:
had an accident on Wed night w my 94 ex couple, head light, bumper, hoods, fenders and the radiator got damage... and got an estimate price of $2600 total in order to fix it.... umm... seems like it's too much to fix it... since the car in a good condition worth like $3000, am I right? ... I would like to hear from you guys what's your opinion... I was planning to upgrade the car.... and bought some part already.. crap...

Hmmm is there frame damage or any other damage that would alter the fitment of those compnonenets. IF not, I would replace all that **** with upgraded stuff. Good excuse to get a CF hood and a nicer radiator. You can get everything new for under $1000. Install it yourself (hardest part would probably be hood and fenders (at least for me, never removed/installed fenders and asd long as you have another guy, you can line the hood up. DONT TRY TO DO IT ALONE unless you have done it alot. I tried and my **** was all off).

Certifit parts do not fit great at least mine didn't I had to replace the same parts as you and I bought all certifit it was alot of cheaper but fitment was crap my fenders still don't line up. See if you can find someone selling factory parts or source them from junked vehicles the radiator support I would buy from Honda because that lines everything up. Certifit is great if you want to save money and don't care about fitment
