I'd seriously consider getting insurance to pay a shop to repair everything (you supply some aftermarket parts that you want, at any cost above that of the replacement OEM part being from your wallet). Why? Because at least you'll have warranty on the repairs (often lifetime with most insurance companies if you go to any approved repair shop).
Since it's a newer car, I'd definitely go this route rather than save a few bucks now, fix it yourself, and possibly be screwed six ways from sunday later down the road.

hmmm nah i know we can fix it...
fixed my civic before. with a wreck that was worse. and this time its going to be even better because all the parts will be new.
the insult about my dad knowing how to weld.. ha
we have a friend who does body work and yes he does know how to weld.. thank you.

sigh i'm looking for support with finding some parts.. lol but you guys seeem to be of no help at all. everyones so much more concerned with the wreck itself and getting insurance to pay a shop to fix it.
Insult? What insult? My point was you'll need some pretty advanced auto body repair skills to fix this car properly. It's more than just bolting on a few pieces of sheetmetal. As far as parts suppliers, there are many online Acura parts suppliers that have been discussed here before, but you'd be better off dealing with a local dealer because you'll need a bunch of small items that may be hard to pick out online.
UPDATE:: halfway mark.
ok soo most of the things have been removed =)
just waiting to straighten up one corner.. and getting the radiator support tomorrow
i'm in search of a cf hood. but looks like we dont have too many options for an 06.. i cant get a hold of a spoon one .. =/

Looks good...I gotta see the car sometime soon. I just got my Euro-R sideskirts after being ordered for a second time after 7 months on Tuesday, and this time I received two right side skirts...now waiting for Marcus to send the left side. Also, I got the JDM tails. We have to meet up soon.

"How to wreck your car for fun and profit." In all seriousness, glad to see your car back together. But if you think you've "made" money on the deal, just wait 'til you see your car insurance bills for the next several years. They will "win" in the end.

Your car is lookin' good! Did you get your 06 JDM Headlights from Boom Plus Toys. They quoted me for more than $800. They said it's gonna take about 4-6 weeks to order it. I wonder how long you waited for your headlights.
