Unhappy Help! Need parts

My car was stolen and the person took some parts..i think he needed it for his car.
The hood, front bumper cover, headlights, taillights, stereo system and control panel, grill are gone!! I was heartbroken to see it. I want to fix it but am a student and can't afford to spend money on new parts.
Anyone have any suggestions on where i can find parts?? Anybody have any that they want to sell?
Its a 1997 Acura 2.5TL. Also what other model car parts would fit this model. any ideas?

you can email me at kavi_ta05@yahoo.com with details.

Don't you mean "grammar"?

And, don't try and cover yourself, the deed is already done.

EDIT: I'll cut him some slack, he's only 9.

If these parts were stolen you should just file a police report and tell your insurance company. If they try and raise your premiums or make you pay a detuctable for items that were stolen, you need to switch insurance companies.

With liability only, they wouldn't give you any breaks. I learnED my lesson with AAA.

Yes. I din't think of theft when i changed insurance companies last year. My mechanic was able to find the tail lights and the stereo system. I spoke with a body shop guy who was able to find some reproduced parts. What do you guys think about those asapposed to the original acura parts?
At this point i just want to sell the car. I'm hopinh i may get a better price if i get it fixed rather than selling it "As-Is"

The replacement parts usually are just as good, as long as it's a fender we're talking about. Don't forget to factor in the painting of said parts and matching it to your car's faded paint. It might come out to be more than you expected... Next time, add comprehensive coverage to your car, even if you don't have collision. I had it on my Accord because I lived in the TL (the neighbourhood, not the car, haha) and that place is infested with crackheads and pimps shooting at each other. Well worth the added cost, IMO.

~Cheers~
