Default Re: So I damaged my baby in the snow...No Insurance...Now what?

I went and had an estimate few days ago and looks like ill be needing:

♦New Hood
♦New Grill
♦New Headlight Cover (Assembly)
♦Front bumper reconditioned

Total=$3100

They had a crossfire already in their shop that had been there for 3 months waiting on parts the guy said and then he called a few places to see what he could do and no one he new had crossfire parts. Anyway...So I found a link on one of the threads that directed me to a place that makes a grill/billet that I liked-Obviously not a stock grill like I have now BUT one that I think looks even better . I have a friend that will recondition the front bumper (WAY cheaper than they estimated of course) SO that leaves me with my right headlight and my hood to get parts for.

Question:

1. Should I get the hood fixed OR just get a whole new hood? and if I decide new hood where do yall recommend I look?

2. The headlight looks to me like it just needs a new clear cover and not the whole assembly as the guy said BUT I could def be wrong as im not even sure if you can buy just the cover or if I will have to buy the whole assembly? And again, any suggestions on where one might get this part would be greatly appreciated?


If and when I get the parts I have another friend who can put them on for me SO im hoping that when im done maybe ill only be out $1500 bucks instead of $3000--I Hope.

Thank you for any help/links you can give me.
I'm farely sure that you can't just replace the clear plastic on the headlight and sadly that's not going to buff out lol I thought I saw on here somewhere that there is a website selling and producing our bumpers. If you can find it I would definately switch to the SRT bumper. Also since you'll have them out $80 will get you some HID Headlights and Fogs... $40 more will get you high beams too

I don't know about the hood, but if it was me I'd probably replace it. I'm **** like that
