First post ..
On May 24th, I got off of work at 10:30pm and found that I was the victim of a hit and run. The front end of my car was smashed in with major damage to the hood, headlights, intercooler, radiator, and surrounding parts. It's been in the shop ever since and finally, over a month later, it's due out July 11th (it's been hard downgrading to a CR-X, but well worth the wait) 
!
Perrin FMIC and Seibon CF Hood
Still awaiting a replacement front-emblem
V-Style Lip and JDM MR Headlights
Perrin Turbo-back exhaust installed (and soon the IX bumper).
Time to give credit where credit is due:
Jacky at Vividracing: Thank you for all your help, and especially for putting up with me calling everyother day. Still waiting on the MR Taillights, but everything else is here. Work Emotions will be installed once I figure what brand of tires I want. I'm very pleased with your CS.
Cal, Tom and the Gruppe-S Team: I learned a lot from you guys .. thanks for making the IX group-buy possible! The V-Style front lip looks great too; you haven't seen the last of me (see you on Dyno Day
)!
And to my family and friends who saw me through this ordeal (and Mercury Insurance for paying for everything
). I will update as things unfold.

Update: My shop can work wonders .. I've really got to hand it to these guys, they know their stuff. Here's a few pics taken on my camera phone of the rear bumper installed. Looks good on her . I'm especially happy with how they installed my licence plate without hanging it off the bumper.
Final result
Before the rear emblem was removed
Looks like an angled exhaust from these pics, but it's not ...
Warning: The Perrin turbo-back exhaust would have been a perfect fit if I had kept the stock rear bumper. My shop had to cut about 2 inches of pipe off (right behind the muffler) and weld it back together for it to be tucked behind the 'diffusor'.

That's so hot.. I love silver. Nice car man.
If you don't mind, could you take some side/front/rear pics? Perhaps some bigger ones and a bit better quality? I really like your car.
Thanks for your time.
