Where to find DSM Frame Parts???

[SlowButSpeeding]

Ok, I got into a little accident, and I’ve opted to repair the car myself. Here are some pictures so you guys can get an idea as to what’s ahead of me. What I want to know is if you guys know of a good place to look to get some of the frame parts that I’m going to need. You’ll be able to see that I’m going to have to replace the entire driver’s side apron there along with that support arm that comes down to support the hood. I’ve been able to find things like the hood, fender, front bumper cover and headlight assemblies quite easily, but the frame parts are impossible for me to find anywhere except from the dealer (VERY EXPENSIVE). I thought you guys would know where to send me for the frame parts!

Thanks,

DSMs are unibody. There aren't "frame parts" as such. I don't know if the inner engine room sides can be bought. Repairing unibody cars is very troublesome, and seldom safe.

There any special attachment to this car? get yourself a rolling shell... put your parts in it, call it fixed... even I wouldn't touch that... and if you've seen pictures of my car, my pop (who specializes in body work) wouldn't touch it... told me to cut it off and put a new rear quarter on... but again, being unibody...
