Yeah, a few parts under the hood like the windshield fluid tank and all the headlight wirings shifted from the accident. All those things are fixed/replaced, and the hood closes fine like normal

To those who are wondering, I'm not sure why my stock fogs appear whitish in the pics. Maybe my digicam enjoyed the look of my fixed up car But I really like my new "free" headlight now. Just wish the driver's side could be the same, although it still looks nice and works fine. I may try claying and polishing that headlamp next time.

It's true what most people say: You almost always come out better than before after a car accident. With the other party's insurance paying for everything, it certainly helps out

Believe me, if they were HID's, I would no question say they definitely are. But they're not (I'll say it once again, I'm running the Silverstars and stock halogen bulbs for the fogs). It's relatively hard to capture the true light output from a car's headlights at nighttime from a digital camera. 90% of the time, the color of the lighting from the pics doesn't match up what they truly are, unless you have a tripod and a high caliber digicam with an excellent exposure feature. Just some tidbit of info to keep in mind the next time you take pics of your car at nighttime

Thanks for the props guys; it's much appreciated
