Well guys, I wrecked my car, and I damaged everything that would be repalced if I were to get a JDM front end. How convenient. The only problem, the body shop says putting on the JDM front end will be about $400-$500 more. I was thinking about paying the difference, and possibly selling it after it came out of the shop, as the front end would increase it's desirability and probably punt the price up a little. What would you guys do in my shoes?

well.. the fact that you wrecked your car at all is going to seriously hurt the retail value o the whole thing.. but I dunno, i like the japanesse front end.

 

That looks like the front of an accord. Slash is right, any gain in resale value is gone now that its been in an accident.

 

Can it be proven it's been in an accident Just don't try to sell it in here
Honestly, if it was just a flesh wound and it's parts you're replacing, it shouldn't matter, if you got into the core support, or tweeked the front suspension or something, then yes, it will hurt resale.

 

they all suck but if you must the JDM version does look better.

 

p.s. hope you didnt hurt your self wreckin.
