Exterior questions

I recently bought a piece of crap EJ1 as a project car to work on through my last year of high school, and during college.

I want to start with body work to make it look at least a little better, and it's obvious it's been hit.
I'm personally not sure of any place that does this, but maybe there is one out there, like an after market company or something that isn't real popular, but is there a place where I can order brand new, in the box OEM doors and bumpers and such?
I'm going to continue to look on various forums I'm on, and around my area, because there are always people parting out, but if there is actually a place that does so, it'd be nice to completely rebuild the car from the ground up.

Thanks in advance! Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Not all parts are worth buying OEM unless you have a big budget and want to say you've used all Honda parts. Body panels definitely arent always worth the added OEM price, especially when most parts are relatively easy to find in junkyards, online, and in forum sale pages. Below are two online Honda OEM parts stores. There area few others some members may also suggest,but Ive ordered from these in the past without issue.

HondaPartsNow.com
Majestic Honda

By the way, you should post some pictures so we may suggest more appropriate options.

Thank you everyone for the replies! I do plan on putting a lot of money into this car by the way, i want it to pretty much be a brand new car when I'm done with it.
Yeah sure, lemme grab some pictures, you can really see it. One second.

Oh sweet dude, thanks!
Think I just might have to get that after I pick my Fender up next week, does it say how long it's gonna be that cheap?

The site won't come up for me.

Man, that is one rough body. I now see why you want to install new body parts. Why did you buy this beat up Civic when you couldve have saved money just buying one with a clean exterior? Is the engine and interior that immaculate to justify what you will put into it in exterior parts?

In all honesty, it's not too bad, it's just the body.

I got it for $2000 and it had a brand new short shifter, cv axels, master and slave cylinders, brand new skunk2 coilovers, new clutch, new shift linkage, new alternator and belt, multipoint harness, new speakers and a cold air intake.

Plus, I wanted to buy a piece of s*** for cheap and have pretty much a brand new car when I'm done with it, it's something I've always wanted to do, and I finally have a steady income to do it.

It runs amazing, it just looks like crap, and as soon as I get the new body parts on, or at least new looking body parts, I'm gonna redo paint, and them start swapping in a B series engine and boosting it.

Personally I don't feel I need justification, it's my money, and I love my car, even though it is really beat up.
I pay for my own parts, and this is pretty much my dream car.
