I have this 2000 integra with 138k miles and the exterior is just all beat up. Is it worth the money to buy all oem parts to make this clean or should I find a cleaner one. I want to make this my baby but I don’t know if I should invest a lot of my money to make this one cleaner. I bought it how it is and I haven’t started buying anything to make it cleaner yet. Bumper, both fenders, rear fenders, rear bumper and tail lights are the most obvious and the paint job is a main one too. Thoughts?

Why don’t you bring it in to a paint shop and ask to see how much it’ll cost to paint the car for you. Doesn’t have to be the most expensive one. Then you can work from there.

For parts, if you can find a teg in a upull yard, that will most likely be your best option to find oem parts.

if its running, frame is straight and such, then id be more inclined to hang onto it, find some straight bumpers, lights, and all that from a junkyard, then see what a paint shop can do with it. 138k isnt bad, and judging by the wing it's atleast a GS? if the end goal is to have it painted anyway, then some scrap panels+paint is probably going to end up being less than finding a better example+paint.
