what to do-please help

[my00si]

I have a 2000 red Si with a high end stereo, 17" rims, red shift boot, short throw shifter,AEM intake and carbon fiber altezza tails and that's it so far. I just had a wreck(not my fault) and I got my insurance check. I have to get the front bumper, left fender, hood, left headlight, and other little things fixed. I am wondering what I should do with the extra cash. I want a carbon fiber hood-are they worth the money and what companies are better at making them. I also am thinking of a WIngs west W-type body kit. Finally coilovers-maybe ground control. Give me some ideas on what you guys think I should do...

hey, i'd recommend getting projector head lights for you car witht he cash, since yu have to replace them anyways, why not upgrade? I've seen some really cool ones for your car, with three seperate lens, one for high beam, one for low, and your turn signal.

i don't know why your little man isn't smiling ...:ylsuper i've been praying to be in your situation for a long time. Nothing like having somebody else pay to fix up your car a little bit. Anyway, how much $$ did you get, i know that's kinda a personal question but it will help us have an idea where you should go with this....

just to add..i wouldn't buy them from that procarparts...it's an ebay company, i just bought a set of projectors for my 95 civic, and they hve the worst customer service, but i'm sure you can find them somewhere else, or if all else fails, use ebay and buy from procarparts.

cheers

Those projectors IMO are fugly ...
How much extra money do you have to spend??

[soul180]

you don't think those headlights would look good once they are painted to match the rest of the car? i think they would look pimped.

i've bought tons of stuff for my car from procarparts... tails, headlights (2 pairs), bulbs, corners, and a few other goodies. (i stay away from the generic stuff though) and i've had no problems so far.

and i got in the same accident too.. only, insurance didnt't cover it. and it was my right side of the car. but i would go to imoto.com for carbon fiber hoods... they have a nice selection

I like the ion headlights that have the circle and square lights. I have about $2000 total to fix it. I am getting a good deal on the labor so this is where the extra cash will come from to buy better stuff. I just ordered the wings west W-type body kit today. I'm still unsure which kind of cf hood to buy-reverse cowl, regular, etc....

i would not spend 500 bucks on headlights. get CF hood and spend the rest on suspension.
