I juz rear ended a 4 runner and my lude took the damage on the driver side. Im planning to get it fix but would it cost less if i buy alternative parts ( cf hood, z3 fender) ? Can anyone estimate how much it will cost if i get it fixed? Thanks

I had the same kind of accident. Look at my previous posts. Total it cost me $2600 to get new hood, bumper, grill, and headlight and to paint. All the parts were new oem though. Looks like you can salvage your bumper, I don't know about your fender. They knocked my fender back. would of cost an extra $400 for new fender and paint. If you got used parts and didn't go to a dealer it would be half of my costs probably ($1300).

 

z3 fender is a total thumbs down, go to certifit, really cheap for a fairly decent fitment!

 

dood, i am in the same city as you and i am parting out my prelude. driver side fender is in good condition with no dents, but it's black and i have the oem headlights. no cornerlights tho. let me know if u want to buy them.

agree...Whenever I was having my car rebuilt, (salvage title) I bought my parts through CertiFit, and all the parts fit perfectly

Sounds like a PERFECT deal man I'd hop on that. I had a similiar experience in my gen 4 lude, busted front bumper, headlight and bent hood. It's not *that* much to fix tho. A new front bumper cover for like 40, painted 200, I got new JDM style headlights 160, and oem style CF hood for 400. So it will be about 800 dollars or so. The CF hood and headlights I had planned on doing evetually anyway so the accident was a perfect reason to upgrade.

 

wheel, mainly the cf hood wont me cheap, expect it to be at least 500 $, cant really tell the price on the OEM hood, but my cf hood was about that price

 

look on ebay for VIS hoods. cheaper there... paid $400 for my oem hood.
