Some kind of acid was poured on the front...:/ need advice

Hey, so long story short some kind of acid was poured on my front end or spilled out of a truck I was folowing...And my headlights are covered in some kind of acid, I tried sanding them and tried every compound and wax I own...nothing helped, it also got on my grille and license plate cover, I will be calling my insurence and seeing what they can do...
I'm thinking if im already getting a new grille might as well go after market and same with lights, so what kind of grille should I get? pics and links would be great, and I found lights I like link is posted below, what do you guys think? My cars an 2003.5 EM sedan btw.
THANKS

**** that sucks man, definitely post some pics.

Those headlights are alright, but are for halogen bulbs. If your car has HIDs or you ever want to do HIDs then I don't recommend them. Nothing beats OEM.

The Gialla style grille would be cool, contact member Ionic. I think he still sells them.

License plate cover? oh so you need a new bumper! Time for a Nismo rep

Grille I Might Just Paint Mine Black And Either Do An EM Emblem Or Leave It Chrome [Emblem Has A Tiny Bit Of Damage...]
And Only License Plate Cover For The OEM 03 :P No Nismo Hahah I Wish I Had A Nismo
Pics Will Be Up Later Today...
@4DGS, What do you mean I can't add after market HID's to those headlights? I was thinking insurence would give me $$ for oem and I would get those and install an HID kit...please explain the problems with HID in those headlights?

Yeah I am going to go thru my ins company, but im just thinking it would be cheaper to go after market OEM parts would cost me $950 no labor for new and after market looks beter and will only come out to be $350-$500 [Black headlights, paint grille, oem plate cover or just put a license plate on]
not sure if i wanna go the cheap route or the right one :/
