Jimbo, just out of curiosity, why did you order stock parts (bumpers)??? couldnt you have gotten aftermarket ones?? Or did you like the OEM look?

Anyway, the work looks fantastic, glad everything is coming out right for you.

I thought about it, but there really is not a kit that I really like. Also, it would have extended the time to get the repair done. One of the front ends I like took a friend of mine three months to get. After I see it at fall colors I might order it over the winter. Also, they are putting the 04 rear on for me. I really do like the look of the 04 rear.

Update
Well we are making progress. I received my two new Volk LE37T's and the car is back together and final prep is being done to move the car over to the paint department. The work that is being done by the body man is just awesome. I'm very impressed with his attention to detail. His name is Jason Confer, and I will so, if for some reason someone in the Pittsburgh area needs body work ask for him. He works at Smail Autobody and Collusion. I just hope the paint department takes as much care as Jason has! Here are the latest pictures.

In the last picture you will see some black material at the top of the picture. He custom made this to look like the factory because the replacement part did not have it and it can not be ordered from Honda. He also did the same in the trunk well to match the OEM piece.

Well, they are supposed to have it aligned and the wheels balanced Monday. Then a final clean up, and if all goes well hopefully in my garage Tuesday night!
