Out of curiosity, why do you have full coverage on a Tempo??? Isn't that kinda expensive for what its worth?
On a side note, I would do exactly what you are planning on doing. When I got rear-ended in my STE the estimate came out to $1862, so of course I got a bumper, taillight, and center light from a junkyard and had the bumper painted for a grand total of $450 and put it on myself. Add up that savings and you will see I made out okay on that deal.

If you add a wing or spoiler to a Honda...we say it'* been riced... what do you call a mustang spoiler on a car it doesn't belong on? Besides odd looking?
