Well someone hit the brakes in front of me before I was able to stop. I smashed my headlight, bend the Radiator Support near the light, bend the fender even more to a crooked mess. and messed up the hood.
(picture is after new lights)

I got a new $25 ebay fender. New $60 headlamps and wires with the clear markers, not bad, throws light much better and I like the look. I also found a $45 badly faded blue junkyard hood, I always had problems with the hood latch on this car and now I have no chance for the normal latch to work. I'll make some hood pins.
I'm not going to paint it. Ill wait for my local junkyard to get a green civic for a proper hood and fender. I have ordered a new radiator support that will arrive in 10-14 days.

I'm thinking if using my old fender and making an upper and lower grill block with it. I think if I do it right it could look nice.
