Default Front make over

Last week on friday got into a fender bender I rearended a pick up due to him hitting the car in front of him everyone was ok and had good insurance. Damage on my car I need to replace front bumper, headlights, grill, and absorbr.
Its at the shop right now got a brand new gt bumper,smoked headlights from Blow By Racing , black upper and lower grille from American Muscle aslo smoked turn signals from them and last Cervinis type lll chin from Late Model Restoration Oh and they painted the whole hood and fenders as well and going to polish my whole car.
Went to the shop last night to drop off headlights they painted all but the chin spoiler UPS should deliver today than it will be painted and installed by to morning. The grille and smoked Turn signals are arriving monday but for now Im going to use stock grill and other set of turn signal I have just get out of this rental car. I miss my car cant wait to get her back tomorrow mornig. I'll post some pics in a bit soon as photo bucket lets me upload some pics its not working for some reason

I think a black billet grille would look MUCH better than that chrome one.
To me the chrome one almost looks tacky on your car.

Not trying to insult just a suggestion.

Well got my car back last night when I dropped off the chin spoiler. Car looks like new going to be busy to today but later this afternoon I'll be installing the chin spoiler. So tomorrow I'll post some pics to show how it looks with the stock grill than Maybe Monday post some with the black billet grille and smoked turn signals.
