Default Question about pricing on del sol body parts

Ok so basically i fucked up my honda civic del sol 1994 vtech

The hood, fenders, and front bumper has to be replaced and all the lights in the front of the car will have to be completly replace, the case and all

And what i was hoping for, is that someone can post links to trusted/cheap websites that has those parts. And i was looking for a price range, my insurance doesn't cover collision so i cant count on that.

Call all of thejunk yards in the area, they will have a del sol at one of them. Find out what parts are good, and go pull them yourself. Once you take them up to pay, hagle with the people to get a good price. I did this, and the parts that I came out with were a new del sol fender and the whole passenger door for less than 100$. The hood and fenders may be hard to find in good shape, becuase the del sol is a small car, and chances are these are the first things to get damaged. For the hood you could go carbon fiber from e-bay, and some new JDM 1 piece lights for the front and you will be set. Then you will be like me, and have a nice Sol thats ready for a paint job. I hope that you do not have any frame damage, then it is not worth it.

yea i went on craigslist to find del sol stuff but like u said the hood on all them are damaged and the fenders are in the same shape as mine

i looked online and found a hood, 2 fenders, bumper, and a radiator, *edit*(all) for $700 is it a good deal?

And when choosing the materials what should i go with carbon fiber or fiber glass?

700$ is not to bad of a price, but like that guy said search on e-bay also. I went with the carbon fiber hood by VIS on e-bay for a great price. Fiber glass may be harder to get, and may end up being the same price. You can paint over the carbon fiber, or keep the cool look of it. Good luck, just make sure to shop around first.

yea i must have looked at over 30 different websites comparing prices

But the prices dont include everything, theres other stuff i wont know about untill we get my garage converted from a storage into a auto garage

And i know a lot about computers and one of the rules is don't buy used, and i don't know anything about cars, when is it ok to buy used?

oh and i hope i didnt confuse you guys the radaitor is $97 and the total is 700
