Default TBon3's Custom Hood (Wreck)

I decided to add some texture to my hood by nudging it up against a '08 Suburban trailer hitch.

Actually I was driving to school, and consequently was caught in the middle of some tail gating students. Traffic came to a halt and so did my integra, underneath the bumper of a Suburban. No damage to his car but some paint on the hitch.

More worried about engine problems than anything. Coolant was going everywhere, and so to drive it to a body shop I've gotta fill the coolant and haul butt there.

Honestly one of the first things I thought was JDM CONVERSION

I actually don't have full coverage. If the Suburban decides they have damage, my insurance will pay for them, but I got nothin for me.

My ball park estimate is about 1.5k after it's done.... and I paid 3.9k for it, so I may have a different car in a couple weeks lol. May just jack my stereo and speakers and RUN!

I know local shops that have a bunch after market cheap bumpers and hoods and stuff. My only concern is cosmetics, really, because I'm planning on ditching this car once college rolls around. (Senior year of high school)
