LS front end parts needed / + bulb replacement ideas

Crashed my 90 LS and am looking for parts. Don't want to claim insurance since my rates are high enough already. I somewhat know a guy who runs a body shop who will give me a great deal on labor. But, I want to find new, or new quality parts to help lessen the cost.

Looking for:

Grill
Headlight / Fog Light / parkling light assemblies
Hood
Front Bumper

Mine was maroon, but any color will probably due as the shop can do the rest, at least with the hood I suppose.

Also, since I will be replacing my bulbs in front I might as well go with super whites wherever possible. Anyone got suggestions on replacing the stock lights? Nothing too expensive and nothing too blue please. Looking for suppliers, part numbers, whatever.

Thanks for any help you guys can offer. Since my baby is in great shape and under 70k I really don't want to sell her off.

Thanks Guys

Thanks guys. I just dropped the car off at the body shop. They are going to fax me an estimate on Monday. Once I have that I'll have a list of exactly what parts I need. He said he'd be willing to use used/aftermarket parts for most of it if I find some bargains, but not for the hood. Basically, because hoods are expensive to ship and depending on source it's tough to guarantee arrival in new condition. I'll post again when I have exact list.

Petrojeff, that link rocks! Looks like I may be able to save a bunch using stuff found there. Thanks!

Can't wait to have my baby back.
