i actually found them on eBay a few weeks ago. the piece inside is alittle elted, but the work great and you can barely tell.

paid $70 for them, but since they are so hard to find i didnt mind at all.

I didnt like the way they were at first, so i didnt get them for awhile. they take some warming up to. once i got them on though i think they look better in person then in pictures!

i also found all my pictures of this car, from first wreck until now. i put them up here: http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/~bjg9/AcuraLife/

different sizes would be quite pimp!


and i bought it wrecked (first set), there was frame damage but i got it pulled back out. and re-enforced. then my father backed into it back in october but that was just body damage. only bad part about this is the passanger headlight sits too far in now (you can see it in the one picture) so it looks like the hood is bent out when its not.

looks real nice man, i was going to get the '97 grille for christmas also, but my parents got me a 17" flat panel monitor instead .

where the bumper and headlight meet is there a big gap, or is it just normal? i wanted to know because i bought my cl wrecked and after they fixed it it still has a bigger than normal gap between the headlight and bumper, and also from the fender and bumper.

on my pasenger side there is a gap now.



you can see it there. compare to the other side:



much less gap there.


the second pic is how it should look on a 100% good front end. but i figure after an accident or 2 you cant get things perfect.

mine is a lot more than that, i think it might be a combination of the bumper and fender a little messed up.
