OK aside from Brandywine (useless junk yard), where are other junk yards in the area?

Sweet! My stock-esque bumper from them is $29.95. w00t!
It's brand new and unpainted. I'll have to get it painted. I'll check a few body shops for some rough estimates before I buy this thing. But wow, $30 is nothing!

Which side for the wheel well liner? I have a passengerside I was about to throw away...
and if your Civic is a 2 or 3 door, it'll fit. If you have a 4 door, I'm not sure, but you're welcome to try.
I threw away the driver side.
I threw away the driver side.

Bah, come on Drew...why'd you throw the driver's side away?
That's the side I need.
I hear the bumper covers won't fit from the coupe/hatchback onto the sedan (which I have). But I can't see why the wheel well liners won't.
But thanks for the offer.

surprised to hear that considering it's a Toyota
But I guess six owners, maybe the engine is subject to some abuse.
Fortunately, I am the second owner of my Civic. The first owner actually had maintenance records and such when I bought the car. I bought it at 130K. Now, I have 177K miles and there is nothing wrong with the car. I don't care what anybody says, I like my car.

i'm fixing most of the problems...
the engine's still good, but the seals are going south.
I'm doing the timing belt next month cuz the tensioner about to seize. The belt was changed at 88.9k, but i have a feeling the tensioner wasn't replaced.

Yeah, you're right, cheap parts to replace. And they're all maintenance items anyway
Once you do all that, your car will be good for 200K miles.
How can you tell if the engine mounts are bad? The only method I know of is to keep the parking brake engaged and to begin to engage the clutch while applying gas and having someone stand in front of the car to see how much the engine moves while you do that. Any other method?
