Default just got in a wreck. should i try this?

okay. i usually stay over in the crx side of the forums but now my daily driver has been smashed up pretty good. sucks.
drunk driver hit and run. luckily before she jetted off i got her tag number and the cops know exactly where she lives. so good for me.

anyways to the insurance side.

before i got my ef i always wanted to do some things to the body of the hatchback i have. its a 98 ek hatchback. the front bumper. driver fender, door, driver side mirror and seems that the quarter panel might have been dented and my bumper. also head lights and hood are gone. so yeah. not good. it was a 92 accord and pretty much my car acted as a ramp for her crap car. anyways

the thing was i always wanted to get the 99 to 00 front bumper. i also wanted the type r replicas for headlights and a cf hood. if i get the regular 98 fenders would all this still work? also if you remember one of my post along time ago i had already messed the bumper up a little so hopefully that iwll get covered. it seems like a lot, but doesn't hte insurance company just write a check to the place you get your stuff fixed. in that case i have a feeling the stuff i get will actually be cheaper as a whole. reason being i remember i wanted a new hood cause some jackass sat on my hood and dented it and it would cost me 800 just to get a new one and painted.

and know this might sound stupid to some, just wanted to know if anyone has tried this type of stuff and how it went for them. if my car is in fact totalled i will probably just sell the crx and take the money from the ek and buy myself an s2k. not too shabby if i do say so myself. thanks to anyone who can help.

the 98 fenders will not work with the 99-00 headlights.

get a cf hood for less than $400

cool see i was thinking that if there is a check that is paid for i have a certain allowance. and in that case i could just take the extra money from the hood that i didn't spend on the cf hood and get the 99-00 fenders. think this is reasonable? or could i go to a junkyard and rip them off a 99 to 00 civic and get them painted? i just wonder why they couldnt have made the 99 to 00 for the whole 96 to 00
