Default Facelift for my IS

A Tahoe backed into the front of my car so I decided to update it. Some before and after pictures.

It went from this:




To this:

Ooh, congrats! Was that covered by the Tahoe's insurance or did he write you a check and you coordinated the repairs at a body shop?

Anyway she looks great! Any chance you could snap a close up picture of the grille for me ?

looks great, I'm debating about the add-on pieces for the front bumper on the same colored car, any side view shots would be greatly appreciated. One thing that worries me is that if the piece would appear too "glued on" type of look since I have never seen these in person.
