I know a few people that have used non oem parts and you can't tell. Totally up to you. I'm probably buying certifit fenders to replace my current ones, though.

yeah originally i had said oem all the way but i got alot of stuff to do and im re-spraying the car, well im not a shop is and before they knew i was doing a conversion he said ill get u a front bumper from my distributor and i was like i think i want oem honda and he was like well its twice what i can get an aftermarket one for and you will no be able to tell, he said all insurance jobs use aftermarket so im going to talk to the shop i decide to go with its down between 2 right now and see what they suggest but i am going to leave it up to what they say if he says go oem b/c of fit to be perfect ill go oem but if not im going to save the $ as long as they stand behnid the fitment of non oem parts, but certifit seems to be one of the better non oem parts and they are cheap also,

on a side note, jdmcarboy has good pricing on 99-00 front end conversions but i have no idea on fitment, anyone else know, or what manfucturer they use on their parts?

Their EG parts fit well, but the front bumper for the 99-00 Civic fits like complete ass. Fenders are okay, but go OEM on the bumper.

thanks what about the hood? well i really wanted to go with some password jdm fenders withthe side marker already installed but if the certifit is real cheap ill let the body shop install the side markers

yeah im still undecided ive also been thinking about going 96-8 and stay true to year but i got hit in the front and need bumper, one fender so

what about
ww.jdmshit.com

they got some nice prices on type R " style" lips etc, anyone with experiece with them?

here is where i am at
first off im pricing certifit
i found a place off ebay its a honda dealer in cali that has offered me a sweet price on an SI 99-00 lip and grill, so i was going to go ti
http://www.hondapartsdeals.com and prob get a front bumper

the fenders and hood i am going to price certifit but those passwordjdm fenders with the sidemarkers installed are pretty nice and ive found a guy with some oem used front end parts hoping to have a 99-00 front end in stock bythe end of the month, i got home owners this month so i got to take care of that first but i also am getting a bonus this month, if i can get the entire front used for the deal specified im taking it if not im going to price shop certifit and mix and match some oem with non

i am notr positive but i dont thin kcertifit makes lips or grilles for the SI and i figured i should get lip grill and bumper the same so they fit right, it is not accecptable for my car to have gaps between the parts sdo im going to a body shop prob on sat to talk it out with them

another ? whasts the going rate for a re-spray i dont want the cheapest i want a good job for a fair price, car has 1 ding really thats it staying VSM but im spraying the entire car so whats a fair price? 1500 more? less?
