Got crashed into, about to start repairs, would love some tips.

Got rear-ended at a red light on saturday night. Bumper, undercarrage and exhaust got the worst of it. So today is Tuesday and they will start work on Monday. I have till then to figure out what I want.

So far, I know I want to get the Sport rear bumper instead of the stock one. And I want to get an exhaust that is equal in price to the stock one, i assume around 1k, but thats not rice-rockety, If anyone knows a good website or a good company that would be great. Im also gettin the spoiler from acuraoemparts.com. If anyone knows a cheaper site that would also be rockin. Other than that, Im going to paint the front grille black and change the plastic grille to mesh. Some window tint, nothin crazy, 50-40%... and most importantly I want Tenzo R Type M 19" black rims. Version 1 or 2. If anyone knows good websites...

Will put up pics when everything is done.

Feck!

Thankfully, it could always be worse.

I don't know of any aftermarket exhausts for it yet. You may try CT-Engineering.com to see where they are on the exhaust development.

Their other products are not ricey *at all* and have a great tone without sounding like an Evinrude.

Well, without using springs, if/when Koni decides to develop/release a Sport (Yellow) strut, usually they have adjustable spring perches that would allow you to lower the car 25mm front and 15mm rear without the use of springs.

I know you said 1/2", but that will be close.
