Well today at 3p.m. I was watching the store for my mom while she ran a few errands when I hear my alarm go off. My car the last car parked on the street. So I run outside and immediately see that my emblem is missing, so I thought sombody jacked it. I saw one of the new Explorers pulling out in front of my car, but I didnt think he was the one that hit me, so I didn't get his license number (I hate myself for doing that!!!). Then he takes off, and I'm left tramatized by the scratches on the grill and the bumper. So I later find my front emblem under my car... So it turns out that he hit me so hard that my emblem popped off and fell!

So now, I must buy a new grill. Honda quoted me $68 w/o emblem. What a rip off. I would stick my old emblem on there (the one that just fell off) but its all cracked. Right now I'm looking for an Altezza Grill, not the RS ones. I can't seem to find them. I thought about repainting my whole car, but that just a waste of money right now. I'll wait until my car gets really scratched up. I've got a lot of chips n such on the front bumper due to dubris of freeway driving.

Oh well, its just a grill. It could be worse. Its just that I never do **** to anybody, **** just comes to me.

If I did repaint my car, what color would you prefer? Its black right now. I'm thinking right now:

White
SI or Suzuka Blue
or some other color...

the altezza grill wit out the rs.. just the grill without the H too is found at www.tornactive.com
no way.. why paint ur car a color that an older civic is ? i duno thats just my opinion.. i just think if ur gonna paint it ... go custom .. or go from a different type of car.. to be honest.. VW has some really nice shades.. of all colors.

Yea, the new dark grey metallic that VW has is unbelievable.


Also, you can get a good used grill off of this site probably or on ebay. Thats what I did when I replaced mine. I paid $20 on ebay. Emblem and all.

Yeah, I'm not reporting something small like this to insurance, it'll just cost more.

I've been looking on ebay and all they have are the RS grill with the emblems. I can't find any place that has just the plain "Altezza" grill for around $30-$40. Oh yeah, I LOVE the gunmetal color! But its just that I'm trying to get away from dark right now. lease:

I'm looking at it right now. Its $47, and I don't know how much shipping is. Usually they have free shipping. I have to search for the 7thgen.com coupon so I'll get the 5% discount

Well thanks for the input guys. Like I said, things could be worse...

gunmetal or cw

What is CW? I think my car would look nice in SI blue, b/c its a Sedan... Now that's just different... I'm starting to think that too many people want and have gunmetal.

This color too...

CW = Championship White

by, si blue do you mean EBP?

I think EBP is the Navy Blue color of the 7thgens right? SI blue would be like the 1999-2000 Honda Civic SI's. Its like electric blue.
