In accident, need suggestions

Well I was in a little accident, and I'm needing to get a new right fender and bumper cover. I currently have the OEM lip kit all the way around. The front lip is fine and can be sanded and repainted. Pretty sure the fender is screwed. So what I was thinking of doing was just purchasing an aftermarket front bumper kit. But, I wasn't sure if any of them would look good with the OEM sides. Or should I just go with the stock cover and oem lip. Just looking for opinions. Thanks in advance.

Yeah it's kind of disappointing for the timing of it all, i was planning on lowering it soon, but now the money is going to be spent fixing this. I like the oem look. Will the kaminari kit look ok with the oem sides. and when you say cheapest how much are we talking. The color is rallye red, i've also heard that it is a tough color to match. Any advice on this. Thanks

Cool, i'll keep it oem, that's what i had planned on doing, and i'm pretty sure it's going to save me money anyhow. And umm, does anyone else think Charles Z works at atlantic honda. Shouldn't he get banned or something. I have been on this site for a long time reading up, on things, just never had a reason to post. I've had my civic for about 2 years, and i'm pretty sure that isn't legal around here. But i may be wrong. But yeah thanks for the input.

take a look at Hayz's car...he has a complete front bumper that's really clean, though i can't remember who it's made by. PM him and i'm sure he'd help you out with that little tidbit of info
