it took three weeks to replace the fender, headlights, bumper, and close the door????? even if the radiator support had to be slightly pulled it shouldnt have been more than 1, 1.5 weeks.

anyways looks nice

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think they have.
The K20 Civic from Asia has them...
By the way, anyone has ANY idea as to where to get these? I really like them and am really interested.
They'd really compliment a Rallye Red...
The little Civic that could...


By the way... if I went to a Honda Certified Collision Center they would charge me around $65 per man-hours... plus parts...
That's a lot of money for raping me!

It's sweet! I'm just waiting for winter so I can take off my front bumper and put my stock bumper back on so my bodykit doesn't act like a snowplow. Then i'll put the grill on!
