Bad Luck ... need new front end?

Ok, so about a week ago i was driving and the guy in front of me stopped very quickly. I slammed into the back of him and messed my front end up pretty bad. I have a leak in my radiator a bent up hood which i pulled out so i could drive, and a sort of pushed back frame in the front. Also my right headlight housing is trashed... I was wondering if any other cars front end would fit? 97 cl is hard to find

Any body parts only the 97-99 CL parts would fit, the radiator you could get from a 94-97 accord if necessary.

I wish they made a ass end conversion for the 97-99 CL to just about anything. The rear is the only part of the 1st gen CL's that I think is ugly, especially when its like mine without a spoiler

so hood, headlight and rad support? sounds like a write off if you put it through insurance, but i doubt you are.

You gotta at least put a spoiler on that ass. I HATED the rear till I debadged, put on the oem spoiler, (one of the first mods I did right off the bat cause I couldn't take it) and tinted the tail lights. I love it now.

I dunno guys, i absolutely think my badgless wingless clean low ass looks amazing!... I am probably the only person on this site who hates the wing look on the back of our cars... It just removes the cleanliness of the design of the car!

P0401's dumbass...
kidding!

So let's see...
The only body parts that fit the CL are parts from a first gen CL however radiator you could get from a 94-97 Accord.
That front end Accord conversion is ghey as fawk.
Spoiler or no spoiler, the first gen CL rear is hawt although most of us prefer the spoiler which makes Eband the outcast.

At least it was all car related.... Last two years we would get so off topic there was one thread that got into the discussion of shoes, molly whooping, and mushroom stamps.... Although I have never laughed so hard since those days, Chris and Chris have done and excellent job keeping the forum on topic.
