get the jdm front end with the money you get from insurance.

 

i doubt you will be able to get a jdm frontend maybe, ill pray for ya. but at least a 98+ conversion. it would look nice

 

Man that sucks

 

I would at least look into converting it to 98+ front end, or if you really like the JDM front, now is the time to switch

Good luck, keep us updated

 

what's the cost to do a 98+ front end? bumper, headlights and everything else necessary...

 

could have been worse

 

yea, how much would that cost? and im not gaining any money out of the accident... the insurance company is paying for it... If i were to recieve money I would go ahead with a JDM conversion, but im not that fortunate enough YET!... I was injured in the accident... so hopefully I am going to get some money after the law suit is over, but until then... Regular 94-97 front end... BUT, I told my body shop to throw on the ITR front lip while doing it and include that into the estimate when he gives it to my insurance company... so hopefully they wont notice it... so yea, wish me luck!

 

Damn those shipsaekis that cant stop! Maybe things will work out for you though. ITR front end might be worth it

 

SUX!!!!

 

sorry to hear about that. funny screen name though.

 

jdm front end wont be worth it, dont even bother, it would cost at least 2 grand on top of what insurance pays

 

time to get some easy cash! I wish an accident that simple happened to me.. LOL

 

It's not that bad. You should have the body shop fill every scratch and pull every dent and ding too. Get all you can for the insurance money.

 

Go JDM conversion... it might cost more even with the insurance money but if you do go JDM you'd be replacing everything thats damaged with something better. I had an accident with similar damage like yours and i wished i had went ahead and got the jdm conversion right after the accident cuz i ended up gettin the conversion later anyway. Good Luck with that though!!!

 

I jsut got in an accident too, my sympathies.

 

goddamn ny drivers same **** happened to me but i didn't have as nice of a car as u have

 

the 98+ front end does not really look that much better ... waste of $$$ get a JDM front ... or ger an aftermarket front with CF hood. .. looks like u can save the fender

 

sorry man i know how you feel. i got my 2001 baby rear ended.....she's never felt the same. that lawsuit/settlement will take forever!! mine took like 6 months....but i got like 3.7k for damages and then since i hurt my neck and "had" to go to physical therapy.....which was fun and relaxing might i add.....i got about 5k for my troubles and ****. hehe my lawer was a good man......so best of luck to you bro!

 

that sux... if it were me.. I'd put in the extra money for a JDM front end because I've been wanting one for a long time but don't want to pay for it since my front end is perfectly good.. but if I got into an accident and had to replace it anyway.. i'd change the front end to the JDM conversion

 

what is ur accident? cause when my friends were in a car and the driver crashed the passenger broke his rib and was a total pusy and filed pain/suffering and got 2,500 out of it

 

What is with people acting all hurt all the time? I gues it would depend on what kind of car hit me. If some bitch in a Escalade hit me...it would be on. But if some mexican in a 84 civic hit me I would tell him to leave the scene and just file a hit and run.

 

well, the insurance dude came to check out my car today... he said esitmated damages and everything is $3200... So hopefully my body shop will do it cheaper.. and maybe with the money left over i can get HID's I'm not really leaning twards the JDM front end because I dont have the much money of my own to put in... but then again if i think about it... a JDM kit cost's around $2000-$2500 right? correct me if im wrong.. and doesnt that come with a bumper, fenders, and a hood? oh yea, and the lights... and by the looks of my car.. thats all i really need... So, maybe with the 3200 I could just get a JDM but what else is needed besides the JDM kit to complete the JDM front end. I heard that you have the change the Radiator support brakets as well... can someone fill me in with what exactly is need to complete a JDM kit and will $3200 be enough?

 

Hell yeah you can get a JDM front with that money!!! the JDM kit comes with everything you need, all you need to do is paint it.

 

I would only get jdm if you really want to go that route...

I would just take the money and invest it or use it to pay off your car if it isnt already!

keep your eyes open around the classifieds on here, the other day I saw some new fenders and front end for really cheap

or call around to some dealerships that sell parts for cheap, its better than just paying list
you could save a good amount of money there
