2000 Silver TL -- Smacked Up

Today was a sad day -- me and my TL got into an accident. No body was hurt as it was at low speed, maybe 5 - 10 mph. I just bought this car only last month. Not much damage, but its still gonna cost me/insurance a buch. Need a new hood, front bumper, both headlights, and radiator/condensor. Such a pain in the ***. Have pics but too large to post. Does anyone know about an aftermarket front bumber that looks nice, if i need to replace the front maybe i'll try something on different????

Well I recently got into a car accident with mine... and I needed a new front bumper, well after they had bought the original stock 99-01 bumper, I got to thinking, hey - I could maybe put an 02-03 bumper on so I could have fog lights. I'm not sure if this is possible, so maybe someone else on this board does. Good luck with everything, and make sure you take your car to a good, reputable body shop. Keep us posted!

Good Idea.....

If you need a new front end why not throw a 02 03 front to it... I know you need a bumper hood fenders lights and im not sure what kind of modify there is but ask...

I talked to a bunch of Acura Tech about this because this was what i wanted to do to my 00 TL when my wife got into a front end collision. The tech said that it can be done but the front core support will have to be changed.
I never got it done because the insurance was a b*tch to deal with and the dealership did not want to deal with it.

Though about it, too much -- probaly would have took too long.
Ended up getting all new acura parts -- hood, bumper, headlight case. Paint came out great, perfect match. I had the body shop paint the black trim on the bumper, I hope it doesn't chip or flake off.
