Crashed my Coupe - AcuraLegend.Org - The Acura Legend Forum for All Generations of the Honda / Acura Legend; 1986 to Present

lgnd · 08-02-2010, 01:09 PM

Yesterday evening I ran into a freakin' Suzuki Swift, and my loss it was my fault. So 10 years accident free driving is over and my 19 years old accident free KA8 was hurt.

I was driving home after a crappy vacation and I looked left for a moment and the driver before me stopped and I couldn't stop.

Hood, radiator suppor is bent, bumber is damaged too, lower tabs are broken on the right headlight. I called every junkyard and forum member and it seems I cannot find a coupe hood in the whole country...
You know Legends are rare in europe.

I'll fix her in the following weeks and I'm absolutely not happy because we are in the middle of our house restoration project and I don't have extra cash right now for the paint job.

The damage does not look too bad. Good luck getting her back to new Istvan.

YOU HAVE A GOLD ALPHA GRILLE!!!!

How much would it take to get you to part with it? I have been looking for one every day since I hit a deer!

good luck with the repair. Glad those glass headlights didn't break.

Gold is flaking and looks like shit and I was lazy until now to repaint it to chrome.
I have a brand new chrome one as spare you can order it from the dealer it's a little bit tricky but my dealership was cool.

Thank you, those headlights are rare and everything else too for the ka8 in europe.

No, I mean I've been looking for a gold one. I've passed up many chrome ones. The golds are a very, very rare grille.

I bought it on eBay few years ago and it was well overpriced.
I don't like gold and it looks bad in person I have the rear gold emblem with the infra sensor and it's flaking too.

Fffffuuu... I wish I had a chrome one to swap you for. I have a JDM one, but it's not Alpha.

I'm ready to swap anytime but I'm too paranoid to let the gold one go and put on the brand new one. I'd like to keep replacement parts for every rare part.
