Default Got into an accident!

Well I got into an accident this morning and my whole front is damaged. I'm interested in seeing if I could get a JDM front end but want to see if anyone on here has had the same experience. Should I get the jdm front end or just replace the front oem?

Does anyone know any shops in MD/DC/VA that will do front end conversions and provide my insurance with an estimate? All help and feedback is appreciated.

Thanks

If you care about resale value, stick with the USDM front. If not, the choice is up to you...

Most likely....if you completely wreck the front end! J-D-M front end! You would not even pay that much! Good Luck w/ the insurance!

Check with WagonWorks here in Crystal City.
I'm pretty sure they did Victor's and they'll make sure the insurance pays ....

Sorry I don't have the number off hand, and their lot is pretty full right now.

Wrecking his stock front end has already screwed up the resale value so the JDM front won't make it that much worse. I say get the JDM front if you can find a shop that will give your insurance co. the estimate!

I actually went thru that same experience in December of 01.. My car still is not ready, but hopefully will be by the end of this week. All I can say is go with the JDM Front.. As soon as I crashed my car, I was very upset, and party injured but all I could think about was rollin' with a JDM Front R...

Yeah I heard that the insurance companies dont wanna purchase oem parts cause they are more money. So hopefully I'll be getting a jdm front.

IMO I would stay with the USDM front end. I was involved in an accident on Feb 5. and I posted about it as well. I got a lot of insurance money back, and with that money, I bought myself the WW W-Typ kit, along with VOLK TE37's, and a set of HID's, and some Comptech parts. My accident wasn't even bad, I just needed a new fender, and door. Anyways, my point is, If I would of used the money I received back from insurance on the JDM front end, I wouldn't have had enough money to buy my kit, hid's, rims, and Comptech stuff.
