Crashed my front end..

Pulling out of L.A fitness, my friend has a long *** truck, and apparently needed to do a 3 point turn to get out of his spot.. saw him moving forward, i started rolling, looked right, turn back left, i was in his rear metal tow.... need a new headlight, front bumper, and a hood. Its a sunlight silver, if anyone has any of this please let me know, i might go the aftermarket route so, give me options.. ****

Thats exactly what im trying to do.
Question is, how much is that going to run me,
i have someone that can hook me up with painting and mounting so,
just need price for the parts.
And, is a CF hood going to look good on it with the MS front?
do i need the rest of the MS kit to not look retarded?

Honestly, if the OEM will cost less I suggest going back to that. I don't know how your feelings are on cf but it looks incredibly tacky on an otherwise all stock car imo. The headlight you might be able to snag at a junkyard, try U-Pull-It around the Broward area

And as per the MS front, if you can't afford the rest of the kit, I would suggest delaying that, as it would run you a sh!tload of money +paint if you end up getting a replica.

just my .02

i disagree the ms looks good on its own w/ the stock appearance package..
ofcourse go authentic as for the cf get the oem cf hood plus youll save there because no paint is required
