this morning i slipped on an icy road and hit a try with my beautiful acura and now the right front of the car is destroyed. I am going to need a new hood, a new right fender, a new bumper, and a passenger side headlight. Anybody have any ideas on where i can get this cheap?

 

Send a message to hondacura world (remove the space) on AIM/AOL. His name's Tim and he works at an Acura dealership. I get all my OEM parts from him -- best prices I've found so far.

 

Check with a bodyshop first and compre to the place mentioned in the previous post. It WILL cost a bundle for all those parts. It is not a pretty sight, sorry to hear. The fog lights still in good condition? Not going thru insurance?

 

its a 99tl so no fog lights not sure if im going through insurance yet but it also goes into the engine bay the windshield washer fluid was torn appart and some metal was bent im not sure what yet.

 

I think the cost of that will be very high if you plan to replace all the parts. Fender painted I would say $300 to $500, hood painted is like $500 to $600, bumper probably $350 to $450. Headlight if you find one on ebay cheap I would say $100 shipped is a good price, sometimes it goes for $150. Are the bulbs and ballast ok? If not that is a little more loot $50 for the bulb and ballast maybe $100 to $150.

Some of these prices, from memory, is what it cost a friend when he needed to get this 02 fixed at a body shop.

 

the bulbs are fine the smashed headlight still lite up after the accedent

 

look i got the same thing but i didnt do all that. i went under a lifted dodge ram truck. your best bet is hit that site i put earlier partstrain.com i believe and get your hood and headlight from there and maybe the fender and do it yourself and you save at least 1000 dollars in labor for that and use the money for something else. thats if you good with your hands. labor will cost you at 1500 bucks. the dealer wants 460 for the headlight, 650 for the hood thats primer, and i dont know the rest. i thought about for a second and then i tried partstain and they had some stuff for really cheap.

 

i can get you the fenders, hood and bumper for 500. They are oem parts and i think they are white. I dont know how much shipping will be though. Hurry i need to know asap.

 

sorry the accident was determined as a not at fault accident so it turns out im the insurance copmpany will take care of it onlyhave to pay the deductable i was estimated over 5,000 in damage tho. ouch.

 

what is a try......and sorry to hear it man....you know I am just pulling your leg
