Update!! my $500 hatchback has made some progress!! pics inside
ok heres the post from before in case you didnt see it...... https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=919437 i paid $500 for the car, it needed extensive front end work, some body work, now its ready for paint!! ive put alot of time and effort into the car so i figured id share with my fellow honda-techers.....enjoy! 
edit: I bought the car from a friend, and the question is what didnt he hit??? haha it was pretty destroyed, the hood flew up and hit the windshield....... im having some trouble removing the cd player, any suggestions?? thanks for your comments and help everyone

Body lines look pretty good (as far as I can tell on your crappy pics)
What color are you getting it painted? red?

You've done a good job Might want to add some tech to the thread so it doesn't get moved though. Tell us if you hit any obstacles, what they were, how you overcame them , etc.

Hood lines look like they sit higher than the fenders and looked like the gap on of the hood inbetween the head lights looks slanted..could be the pics..id just keep it red cause it cost too much to paint it the right way

to remove the cd player, carefully ply it out with a flat head screw driver
do it from the sides, very gently

for $500 they look damn near perfect</TD></TR></TABLE>
they dont look perfect but they look fine..just a lil fyi for a car to be acceptable on a frame rack. It has to be within 3mm max for the frame to be in "spec" so if a hood sticks up and you can tell in a pic im sure its more than 3 mil off. Nice car though and it does look fine for a daily drive imo. Keep up the good work.

Not realy the best for fitment...Ive notices sometimes they dont even lien up with the holes but for the money who can argue...If you can spend the xtra cash for a core support from Honda always go that route. It will fit a million times better. Weve had to pull "cheaper aftermarket" core supports just to make it fit. but if your car isnt going on a rack it doesnt matter anyway.
