Probably looks better than what you had before. Those new headlights look really shiny!

Looks great, but be prepared for a big reduction in what you get for it on trade. Everyone gets a carfax now and deeply discount accidents like this even if they are expertly fixed. Very unfair.

Car isn't worth anything no more. Tried trading it in and dealer gave me a horrible number. Told me i should sell it privately to get better #
