finding body parts for cheap

Ok I'm not really sure if this goes here so if id dosen't I'm sorry... The other day some jack a$$ backed into my car and put a good dent in the hood... I've taken it to a shop and they said the angle on the dent is to steep to be abel to pop it out so I'm looking for a new hood... anyone know where I can get one for a good price? I've been searching the net for a while and have yet to find a shop that has oem body parts for the TSX. thanks for any help you guys can give me.

I have a few extra pieces, but it is only the front lip (what comes off on the front aero-kit) and side skirts (what comes off when you do the aero-kit side pieces). I don't think most people will have a spare hood lying around.

are those the kit pieces you are talking about, or the pieces that come originally with the car?

I don't think you are going to find any "cheap parts" for the TSX. The car is still to new to be finding discounts on body parts. Don't try to save money by getting aftermarket parts. The OEM parts are only slightly more money up front, but cheaper in the long run.

I'm sure the racer/show people will soon (if not already) be putting carbon-fiber hoods on their cars, so you might inquire on those boards for a stock hood lying around...
