I don't feel like modifying this car anymore. I'm just gonna fill the dents with bondo, paint it, cut & buff, and then sell.

I just had to drop the hood while hanging it in my garage to paint it. Just purchased that Certifit hood brand new for $70, too. The fender was $28, and the bumper was about $40. If I was keeping the car, I would just get a new hood.

Yeah, I painted the bumper with primer, base coat & clear coat. Just need ta wet sand it with 2000 grit and then buff it out. I'm just lazy right now with the hood. My buddy came and looked at some of the bondo jobs that I did before, and he couldn't tell where the damage was, even if I was pointing at it. So it should be fine when I'm done.

Can't make up my mind about color. I want to contrast of the red NSX style tail lights with silver or white, but then dark colors like red, blue or black express more gloss. I don't know if I'm gonna get another Accord because I can't find another coupe 5speed, leather, sunroof EX. I already have my wife's sedan. I might get a BMW Z3. They're only $5,000 - $6000.

They're really not that bad. Parts are relatively cheap and the 2.3 I4's and 2.8/3.0 I6's are pretty easy to work on.
