Default Great place (and cheap) to get stock parts?

Brand new here. I just bought an old 91 Honda Civic hatchback just the other day and need to do a few things on it.

Right now, I need just 3 things that are all cosmetic. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a stock replacement lens for the drivers side tail light and also the drivers side headlight.

Other than that, my rear bumper hangs just a tiny bit on the drivers side and I need to fix that. Any resources or ideas on where to get these parts for cheap would be great!

You might want to try the Honda-Tech marketplace (hondamarketplace.com) and see if anyone in your region has a set. Most people here at HCF have an account there just for the shopping. (It's another forum much like this.) If you want brand new OEM, you can try http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com and see if they have the part in stock. But it'll cost, of course. Other than that, you can try to see if there is a local Certifit (http://www.certifit.com) for you. They have aftermarket parts that are made to OEM specs. If there was one nearby, I would be ROCKING the cheap parts.

Check local salvage yards for the lights. The headlight is often sold two ways, either just the glass front and reflector assembly, or the whole unit complete with the mounting frame and adjusting screws. If it's been damaged by a crash, you'll need the complete unit, the frame and adjusters are going to be wrecked too. If it only has a stone hole in the glass you could buy just that sub-part. That costs about $120 from Majestic but it does include two brand new bulbs.
