Dude I had a honda CRX SI one time just like how you have the CL totaled, but something that I learned was to pack up and let go because after fixing it the problems were unbearable!!
I know you might love this car with all of your heart but its time for you to move on to better things (rides)!! look for a forth gen TL with 6mt and you will never regret it!!

hey bro if thats the case go all out!!

First get that bad boy to a frame machine pronto!!
Second order the front bumper replacement and the two side front pieces.
Third get the car over to a local body shop for remounting!!
Fourth have your mechanic inspect steering column, ball joints etc.
Fourth take that bitch to MATCO or somewhere cheap and get the entire car stripped and painted!!

The CL can be a real bad ass if hooked up JDM, with pearl white and black euro wheels and a small decklid spoiler!!

Just trying to help you get some ideas!!!

Yea...i mean its fixable...I don't know if YOU in particular have the skills to do so...considering you're asking the question you probably don't.

Take it to a body shop.

I think that would be more expensive.
i would look on craigslist list for people who are parting out CLs.
get a hood, fenders, grill, front subframe, front bumper reinforment, radiator and anything else you might need. if the parts arent the same color then they can be painted later. painting just those body panels on a black car is would be cheaper then the whole car and with black you dont have to worry too much about color matching.

my cl was hit similar to that when i bought it. do u have frame damage? if so it might not be worth it. finding the parts is not hard but costly. but take it to body shop so they do it right the first time and not try to fix your mistakes

This man keeps posting the same exact thing and does not take any advice look at these threads...

This is a recent thread

https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-cl-2001-2003-50/what-do-what-do-715360/

and here is another one .....

https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-cl-2001-2003-50/totalled-my-cl-492336/

Make up your mind, you already have another car, just junk it or try to sell what you can.

I merged the 2 latest threads...

No need for a lock... He likes to post "hit and run" threads... He posts, and never checks back on the thread for the advice we've given... Thread will be on the 2nd page of the forum in a day or two...

Repeating the same action and expecting different results is a sign of insanity
