so im not sure if many of you remember about 2 months ago i was involved in a 5 car pile up. well i finally took it in to get fixed and here she is! lets do a before after after photo real quick.

Before:



After the accident:




damage didnt look bad until itook stuff apart the core support was pushing back about an inch or so.

Back from the body shop looking purty!:








things that are different from the before to now.
jdm power folding mirrors
jdm ctr red h on a brand new ebay grille
lost the fog lights. they were ebay knock offs and were already messed up before the accident. gonna get some oem ones sometime
lost my 6k hid kit. one of the ballasts got destroyed in the accident
now im running a 10k xenon kit and i love it. but i may get another ballast and go back to 6k
no more blacked out headlights. i may black out another set but the oem chrome is kind of growing on me.
got the side skirts repainted the paint was cracking pretty badly on them.

thats it tell me what ya think!!!! i need to finish the rest of the body work now but at least everything lines up on the front and isnt all jacked up!

also the carbon fiber hood is fine ill probably put it back on in the spring thanks for looking!!!

 

That is HAWT !! Very nice !!

 

Damn clean i like alot....

 

Looking good Glad to see your car is fixed, accidents suck

 

Looking good, Jon.

I would have had them paint the top side of your carbon fiber hood, while they were at it.

 

nice, they replaced the headlights too? didn't look like any damage to them... i wish my front end would line up like that .

you need to install your rear discs...

If I recall correctly, his original ones were damaged somehow. Like the tabs were broken on top, or something along those lines.

 

I'd keep the oem chrome headlights too. Lookin good though.

 

hey sweet ride i got the same 4dr but mine is an 05
looks good with that lip
also what size are your tires?
thx

 

what kind of lip is that?

clean car *thumbs up*

 

saw this on civicforums as well. looks much better with the ctr red H. i'm kinda diggin stock headlights as well.

 

like i sed before..looks CLEAN!!!! ctr emblem

 

Looking good! I liked the blacked out headlights better, but that's just my opinion

 

nice i have the red jdm emblems as well and i love them. I spent 120 on both front and back from password jdm. They were for the 02-04 si.

 

eep.

i got mine off ebay for 25 shipped for both

 

ditto i paid 25 for the front off ebay and for the rear i paid 30 at nopi nats

 

and yes matt the headlights were jacked up a lil bit. actually after i took them off and sent the car to the shop the headlights seemed fine. but they wanted oem ones oh well i think it looks better. im contemplating some jdm ones now :-)

 

wat else are u gonna do 2 ur car?

 

i wish my front end lined up that good too...mine is all jacked..how much did you say you got it fixed for again?

I hope you know that they're identical to what you have, with exception only to the darker shade of chrome used on the interior plastic.

 

sweet sedan!!

 

Looks great! Really decent job man

 

looks much better with chrome...

 

matt i know they are the same.

a k swap :-)

 

Oh Wow! its nice to see a really clean Black sedan (sorry Im so biased to black ESII's idk y haha). Just a question...where'd you find the JDM Mirrors ???

They are really similar looking to 03-06 Accord Mirrors...possibly the 98 - 02's as well (havent taken a look at their mirrors in quite some time).

Anyways I always wondered what they'd look like on our cars....so now I know...and I love it! You're lookin really original and sleek buddy! Keep up the good work!
