Well my bumper is scratched all the way across but its in alignment, and my hood is kinda scratched and also pinched, bowed on one side. Grill also has broken piece in it. Would you like a picture? I was thinking about some kind of bumper or hood?

I would just get em replaced if that's what you want. I wouldn't suggest getting only part of a body kit (fron bumper) it'd look funny, and a hood would be so so

What would be the smartest part to buy? ie: something that would make the life of my car longer (because its gona take a lot of time to buy my mods) and possible add a little bit of performace.

you could go Catbak and header get a decent or so hp maybe add a little mpg. or you could add beter tires and some suspension mods to handle corners beter. ecu would prolly be ur biggest single gain, BUT if you were to get I/H/E the ecu upgrade would do alot more for you. or you could change your cam, and get E-manage and get a nice gain...heh. Just look in the tech forums and run a search on whatever mods intrest you the most. theres alot of things you could do to get you going, just pick a goal and start goin torwards it.

I was thinking about a new bumper & hood combo, evo 7? Is that available? probably over 600$ but i could probably through some in.
