Default Question about del Sol in accident

A friend of mine backed into me tonight and I'm wondering what I should do. Should I fix the OEM front bumper or go with an aftermarket one. If aftermarket, what style and any good links would be greatly appreciated. He is paying out of pocket for whatever I want to do, so I'm kind of confused on what to do. Thanks.

jdmsol, my one and only reply is stock. even tho most people dont like the look of the del sol, i love mine with a nice ex lip on it. id just get a stock lip and go with it or if ur darings do what someone else on the board did and get a carbon fiber lip. looks killer IMO

Thanks for the reply delslow94. I've already got the EX lip on there. I wouldn't mind trying that carbon one though...it looks really nice.

the sol i will soon be getting also has a front bumper that needs to be replaced. i looked everywhere and they were very difficult to find. for instance, getting a stock bumper that was not from honda ($$$$) but was aftermarket and primered was even hard to find...and when you did, they wanted ~$300 for it.

i have a 93 sol as well but want to put the 96-97 bumper on it. this piece is impossible to find! at least here in massachusetts. NO one has it.

so good luck and if you find a good source let me know

Yeah, I thought about going to the 96-97 bumper a while back ago. I don't know if I really want to lose those aux. lights though. I guess that could be another option for me to look into though.

for some reason i like the look of the 96-97 bumpers better, just because it is more aggressive with the bottom air vents...

oh yeah... and War DAMN Eagle
