The RSX I got in January had more body damage than I thought, so much that I’m going to have to get alot of dents fixed before I get it painted. There are some areas where it can’t be fixed so easily, specifically the passenger side fender which has more of a bend, it makes sense to buy a new one. The other is the front bumper, the previous owner had cut it through and the front a-spec lip is breaking.

You can see what that looked like on my YouTube channel here:

With this, I’ve decided to buy new ones that are primed and put it on now, even though I don’t plan to fix it until I get the rest of the car in operating condition.

Here are a few photos of the progress of it. Getting the fender on was easy, the most difficult part of removing the side skirts without breaking the clips. The bumper was smooth as well, except installing the aftermarket eBay type r lip was a pain, and the fitment wasn’t as good as I wanted. The fender liners were cut as well, so I decided to replace this too. eBay parts are never great with fitment, but I really don’t know where else to get parts that aren’t too expensive like OEM.
