No airbags, whats in the pic is it. I just pulled the bumper, the header panel is toast, but nothing at all beyond that.

Lincoln - Could you send me a pic? I might be interested, that or Ill get some OEMs and tint them.


I have the header panel ordered off autopartswarehouse.com for $79.00, should be here in 3-4 days

That sucks hard man, really sorry to see that, esp so close to seeing your pic thread. That bites, no option going through insurance or not worth it or what? My smoked headlights were about $130 shipped, not too bad I didn't think.

I got mine from eBay, seller Revotec. They are the same lights sold by Blue Oval Industries, UPR, Late Model Resto, etc. but for a lot less money.



USMC, just a heads up I've heard bad things about tinting headlights, something about the tint really messes up the light beam.

Sorry to hear about your car. Glad to hear no one was hurt.

Same law was just introduced here in Ontario, but driving around, I`ve seen almost nobody obays it.

Yeah 90% of people dont follow the law, and I havent seen anyone pulled over for it since the first week of it. I think its just one of those things that its a reason to pull over a suspicious vehicle, like window tint.

And Onyx, Im spraying the backs, as for headlights, I may pick up the pair that Jasper has, or maybe Ill look into an ebay set. Im really trying to do this tight, because I dont have that much money, and need the car to get back to work, ASAP... So cheapest is best. Jaspers OEMs might have to tide me over.

I was really hoping to pick up those TF highports this weekend too...
