so i got into a little... UPDATE *with pics*
yeh i got into a little accident. which sucks a lot, this is the worst timing ever for me 
. i didnt go through insurance, so now i neeed some oem parts for cheap, 04-05 front bumper and 04-05 hood. does anybody know where i can get these for cheap?
EDIT: * now with pics * . these were taken without a tripod by the time i was done takin them i couldnt feel my hands, thats how shaky they were, lol. well anyway, Damage = hood + front bumper. Cause = hit and run. Possible suspect = (suv, truck, jeep something pretty high).
well here's the pics, yeah i know its hard to see but you get the idea.
notice the hood
notice the hood the cracks on the bumber as well as the grill
my viper hood
well thats about it. let me know what you guys think. i know its fixable but believe me its the worst timing ever, since i had this money saved up for a lip kit + springs + shocks.

Rep Power: 0 damn man, sucks to hear it....if you have to replace it all maybe its time to get some after market stuff? i dunno....let me know if you need any help installing stuff or anything....i hope you get her back new man
I can try to get you a price from Honda, but even with my discount you probably won't like the result...
if the cost is the biggest factor and you want the stock look, it'll probably be cheaper to go with an aftermarket replica instead... not saying the parts are better or worse but its an option at least...
or start calling some scrap yards...

Rep Power: 315 Exclusive, why do you have to pay outta your own pocket? there's enough damage on there to make it worth while claiming it on your insurance.
That vehicle must have really honked on the gas to end up denting the middle of your hood! almost looks like someone jumped around on it after.
I know what it feels like to be the victim of a hit and run. Someone drove into my driver side door last December, put a fist sized dent in the bottom panel of my door. (about 1 inch deep dent) turned out that the whole door was dented from top to bottom. I had to pay outta my pocket because it wasn't going to be worth claiming it on insurance. damage was like 700 to fix, I got lucky and found a garage that did the work for 450 cash. fix dent, paint/blend. You would have never known there was a dent.
Best of luck getting that **** fixed man!

That looks pretty bad man.... At first it looked like you got a new hinge setup for opening the hood... i.e. slide up onto your windshield... Then I realized it was pushed that way...
From the pics, it looks like the "hinge points" are probably torn right off the frame. I've seen that happen when my gf's dad's Accord got blindsided at an intersection by a van.... The hood went FLYING, and the hood hinges (where it pivots) basically tore off partially from the frame.
That's going to be REAL ugly, even if it's fixed..... i.e. if you were ever to sell, a mechanic inspecting it would easily be able to tell.
Looks like you hit someone man I know how it looks. I think that it is rather impossible for someone to back up into you with that much force to cause all that damage. I think you hit some one just admit it dont feel bad it happens just dont go through insurance. Anyone else agree with me cause if someone backs into you their not gonna keep there foot on the gas. It looks like they person/you were going about 50 -60 km/hr. When they hit. I know honda cumple very easy but that damage is kind of strange.
