nah, i dont think so. im going for a dark look, and i dont think those JDM badges will go with the look im going for. i might paint them someday, but probably wont unless i do something with the headlights, which would be expensive.

Wow, frickin' douchebag. I just got rear ended by a Subaru.

Luckily its just two paint chips and that yellow line from his plate frame. Looks like I'm headin' back to the shop again...

Don't sweat it man. That's what you have insurance for.

Philip260 · 01-07-2008, 10:07 AM

hey did you paint the grill yourself or bring it to a paint shop? how much did it run you?looks good. im looking to do the exact same but maybe paint the base of the grill as well.

Hit and Run, GRR!!! - 12/29/07

Repair progress - 1/30/08

^^ Whoops, didnt see that the pic was blurry.

^^ They also fixed the ding and curb damage caused to my wheels from the accident, I couldn't even tell where the damage was. Not quite sure what happened to the HFP stickers...but thats okay, as long those damages are gone I suppose. Actually...looking at these pics...I think I can see where they fixed the curb damage...totally couldn't tell when looking at them though.

Been a little more than a month since driving my car, and been about two weeks since seeing it. It was nice seeing it again...I miss you!

anavrin351 · 01-30-2008, 11:44 PM

Hopefully you are all done with the crappy luck you have had.

ac2539 · 01-30-2008, 11:47 PM

well actually, this week ive been driving my Grandma's 1990 Mercedes 300E with 174k miles on it. And on the way to school today (45-60min commute) the car died on me. Had to wait for a ride to school and the tow truck to come, missed my first class. Car was towed to the same shop my Civic is at. Replaced the alternator and was good to go, thats when I took the pics of my civic. So...the bad luck continues...

***kpSTI*** · 01-31-2008, 12:57 AM

All I can say is

!!

ac2539 · 02-06-2008, 07:57 PM

I FINALLY GOT MY CAR BACK!!!

Just like new again...

^^ I'm not sure about that though! Its on my front wheel and im pretty sure that wasnt there before. And my alignment feels off, like the wheel isn't exactly centered.

And also, after they repaired my rear wheels, I dont have the HFP stickers on them anymore, so only my front wheels have it now. Kinda weird, but it works. Family friend owns the bodyshop, so he covered half of my deductible cost.

IM SO HAPPY THOUGH! When I called them and they said my car was ready and I could come get it, I was so excited. After driving a 1998 Acura RL and a 1990 Mercedes 300E for the past month (both without radio/audio systems!), it felt REALLY strange first driving my civic. I had to get used to my OWN CAR. I've been dreaming about this day for 5 weeks...finally! Going back in two weeks so they can wax it again, and ask them about the alignment.

dc5jimbo · 02-06-2008, 07:59 PM

love it makes me wanna go bye one... like the color to

ac2539 · 02-08-2008, 02:32 AM

Wow, not driving my car for 5 weeks and then getting into it again really made me feel the difference my mods made, I think. Well...I'm pretty sure it didnt run much like this at all when it was stock...

I'm always a bit paranoid when I park outside overnight now!

JeShUa · 02-08-2008, 03:47 AM

It would have been sick the flat color :]..

striker_1818 · 02-08-2008, 03:51 AM

looks niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice

ac2539 · 02-08-2008, 06:52 PM

Oh...so apparently I had mail from my insurance company under my Mom's name and she hadn't opened it and was going to throw it away, and she said we were suppose to get a check from them. I told her maybe it was in this package! And she said no it wouldnt be, it would come in a smaller envelope. So I opened it and the check for almost a grand was in there! Haha. Total damage repairs were $2604.10.

06CivEXJon · 02-08-2008, 07:48 PM

Looks good man,RBP was my first choice but unfortunately at the time it was only offered in tan interior. Did they tell you how they repaired it? what do they do? cut out the quarter panel and put a new one in and weld it,sand it and paint it or what? j/c

ac2539 · 02-08-2008, 09:20 PM

im not sure. it was probably something like that..

Civic4u · 02-08-2008, 09:46 PM

sexy car..............

ac2539 · 02-08-2008, 10:09 PM
