Hello everyone. Some may recall a dear running into the side of my CRX after driving it home from Arizona last April. Things have been slow moving but I would love to hear opinions from my like minded Crx community.

I have been torn on replacing the door and hood or having them repaired. Cost is not a factor. I have a minty door and hood I can rob off my other 88 HF. Up until this the car had all original paint and zero accidents. My OCD wants to replace the parts so there is little to no filler after repairs. Another part of me though wants as many parts to remain original as possible. There was no choice on the fender as it was trashed. Even with the small tear on the bumper it was cleaner than my other one or any I could find. Blending other panels (or not having to) would be better with keeping the original parts. Any and all opinions are welcomed and encouraged.

Thanks for the feedback. I did have two skilled PDR guys look at it and both said take it to a body shop. The "spare" parts would still need to be painted. Underside of hood and inner door would be fine because at least they are both blue HFs. Here is a pick of the donor parts. The fender had a few dings that came out decent with PDR

.

Thanks dude. Thats the direction I was leaning as well.

Highly value your opinion my friend! I haven't tried to find center caps for the enkei's. I'm actually going to sell the "track shell" this year after I use what I need. Probably with the rpf1s but who knows.

Sure did. I asked insurance if I needed to take a pick of the dead dear...nope. there was actually two so at least they both didn't get me. It's still a little painful to think about but I'm pretty much over it. Just want this things back on the road to drive when weather gets better! The SSR trade sounds decent. I like the ride height on your car. Did you raise it a bit since I saw it? It looks great.
