Re: need to find cheap body parts (hydroflip)
When shopping for body parts be careful. I would try to find the best price on oem body parts if i were you. When you use cheap body parts that is what you get, the parts are uaually made from a lower quality of steel and most of the time they won't line up and bolt holes may not match or even be there. So basicly if you save a couple of hundred now it will cost you later when you have to look at a crap panel every time you drive the car. Trust me I used to work in the body shop biz and have seen this mistake made before.

Same here, work at a body shop before, cheezy aftermarket sheet metal will not line up. Second of all, the actual metal is thinner that the OEM and have a greater chance of getting easier dents.
An old of friend of mine went with the cheap route and bought aftermarkert parts for his civic. 6 months later, he end up buying OEM parts. The aftermarket parts dented so quickly that it hard to believe.
Its better do it right the frist time and then doing it again the second time around.

Look around your area for a Honda dissmantler. My freind out here in Cali works at one and whenever I need replacement parts he can usaully hook it up. For pretty damn good prices (well most of the time)
