Jeager · 01-15-2004, 01:31 PM

Ok finally....well the car got towed to my body shop...the adjuster came and looked at the car...they came up with about 5k worth of dmg....so did my body shop...now they just need to work out an agreement....

SO with that said I talked to the guy doing the work...he is going to work with me...so i need a hook up on the JDM one peice lights...and I dont know if I want to go with a CF hood or not....anything else after market I should pick up??...His cost for the 2 oem head lights was about 400 dollars...and the cost of the OEM hood was like 360....help a brotha out

Told you 4-5k. Of course, I am an Auto Damage Evaluator for Allstate

I would expect that job to go close to 6k after all is said and done.

Take the cash for the headlights and buy JDM headlights off Ebay and also get a VIS CF hood.

dont pass up on the CF hood, I wish my car was a darker color than white and would get a CF hood.

Maybe you can add a lip kit?

Jeager · 01-15-2004, 02:39 PM

well...Im def. getting the JDM head lights....and I am leaning towards a C/F lip...or maybe the ww rs lip kit...though I dont know about the cf hood....Im hearing that I should get one...then Im hearing that I shouldnt...and april made a very interesting post about a guy being decapitated in a wreck by a cf hood....and the guy thats doing my body work didnt think i should get one either...so Im still debating on that one

fullyludedSi: White cars with a CF hood and black JDM headlights are SEXY!! I can show you a pic of my accord if you want to see.

Jeager: I'm glad to hear that your car will be all good and its not totalled...like the others said...dont pass up the chance to up grade to a CF hood.

anyone know any good places for cheap JDM lights....or c/f hoods?

preluda92 · 01-15-2004, 04:25 PM

Ebay, and Ebay. I got bolth of mine off of there and Had no complaints about either. I wish I could remember the name of the dude I bought my hood from, but it was less than 400$ after shipping. Just remember with CF hoods you get what you pay for. If you can sling in some of your own money go for the VIS or other top quality piece. Mine flexes ALOT and I need hood pins soon...

with the JDM lights is there anything else i need to buy extra??

CrazieLude · 01-15-2004, 09:47 PM

no just make sure it comes with the H1 and H4 harnesses if you want to use those...if not...the nope, you dont need anything else.

any recommendations on a c/f hood?? looks like most placed charge like 150 for shipping...Im going to try and see if I can get one from any place around here so i dont have to pay for shipping...so far...315 + 150 shipping is the cheapest Ive found....for a VIS hood

justanotherlude · 01-16-2004, 01:30 AM

Well, if your car is white... You can always get the white carbon fiber hoods

yohan420 · 01-16-2004, 09:03 AM

paint CF ... somebody got decapitated by a cF hood ?? DAMN!*#%

show me the link to that.

Call around any US jdm importers that get engines/front clips ... they usually sell the 1 piece lights and/or foggies .. www.jdmsource.ca I know does but .. cDN ..

anybody whose sold JDM h22 should be a good contact to find some lights for you .. just shop around, get a good price while at it

Jeager · 01-16-2004, 09:10 AM

I find a place called password JDM.....they sell the lights for 250 +shipping....anyone heard of them or delt with them??

JabroninWARRIOR · 01-16-2004, 09:12 AM

my bumper used to be hanging really low, so my hood-bumper gap in the front was over 1inch

. i got one of those newer VIS CF hoods w/ the adjustable metal hinge for 450shipped. I have taken my car to max speed many times on the highway, i dont even have hoodpins, and i still have my head
