skip it. tell him you'll be back when it's fixed correctly.
who knows what else is fucked up on that car, when you slam into something hard enough to bend an lca, other **** is broken too, more often than not.
lower control arms have one attachment point at the rear lower subframe, one at the bottom rear shock mount, and one at the rear "knuckle."

Lower control arms have nothing to do with 5-lug conversions. 5-lug conversions consist of hubs, rotors, and calipers. You still need to change your front lower control arms if they are bent. Integra or Civic, it doesn't matter, just find what is cheaper at a junkyard.
