Default car accident. what now?

i just got in a car accident on tuesday and my integra is pretty smashed up. nothign that is unfixable though. i have a friend willing to sell me an oldschool wings west body kit for $150 i was wondering if i should keep the stock look or get the body kit and see if i like it and change it if i dont like it. what do you guys think?

before:


the aftermath:



the bodykit:



im not really a fan of kits, but i think this one could be acceptable.

Kit would look fine, especially with a nice FMIC hiding behind it. Do what you like man.

i think the ww kit is fine considering its not too gaudy. kits definantly need to be on a car that is lowered though otherwise it looks goofy as hell.

Sorry to hear about your accident!

I like the kit and $150, can't beat that with a bat.

Just paint it, please

the only thing about that is some one piece headlights and a lip alone would be more than twice as much as the body kit. if i dont like the kit, i may just sell it for more than i bought it for. haha

Get the car fixed 1st, then start talking about where you're gonna spend money.
