Well needless to say i got in an accident so now my front end has some minor cosmetic damage but i want to fix it. So i thought i would make a project out of it. I would really like some input, I really like the grill with no logo on it. But please take into account I have little knowledge about fixing cars all i know how to do is put in a jwtpopcharger. Like i said i would really appreciate your guys input i will post pics when i get a chance so you guys can see the damage.

 

Pics?

If you have the stock front end it's poly and should not be repaired with fiberglass, you will need a poly repair kit. It's a lot of work. Trust me, I just re-worked my front bumper to fit the intercooler.

 

Here are some pics i took today i hope you guys can see it clear.

 

I can't see it clearly?

 

I posted better pics and smaller so it should be better. I just installed LED lights inside and my license but its too bright out to see anything going to wait til night to take pics.

 

Oh, those pics didn't load the first time.

Looks pretty rough, I'm not sure I would attempt that myself.

 

i wasnt really planning on doing it myself i was going to buy parts and either put it on myself or go somewhere to let them put it on for me. but i was hoping you guys had like places to go or sites to buy it from and pics and stuff.

 

by the way those are my key in the hood if you didnt notice. when i got hit it lifted the hood on the passenger side alittle.well not alittle big as my damn key.

 

I don't think it's that bad at all. Get the frame checked first before you do any work to it, or your just wasting money. If the frame is still straight then go ahead and purchase a new hood, bumper and grill from the marketplace. Maybe the forum can back me up when I say these are all bolt on pieces? Start with the hood! Forget your grill man!

 

i dont think the frame is messed up since it wasnt that bad of a collision. though i got a estimate to fix it from my dealer said it would cost roughly about $1400 for factory parts. I dont know if its better just to get a new hood that would look nice or just get the factory hood and get a good grill because i dont like the logo in the front and i want the grill to be smaller.

 

You can do an emblemless grille, CASKYLINE makes them or you can DIY. I can't see the pics at work but will check back later. You are going to spend a decent amount of money just in materials to repair stuff compared to a Kurookie or oem bumper which is done and just needs paint.

 

+1 on getting a kurookie.

looks really good

 

i looked at the kurookie bumpers and they are really nice and i do live in SoCal next to all you other G-drivers so If im able to i am reallying hoping to get on of those bumpers

 

Do yourself a favor and get new hood hinges. They are prob ready to fail and now is the time to change them.

 

If I were in your shoes, with that color car, I would go with the KuRookie bumper. Also, if you're not brave enough to bake your headlights, I wouldn't go with flat black on the grill (or an open grille) I would do a finish like Marcus (CandlestickPark) has on his.
