few pix of my accident...

I think I can re-adjust the hood latch to make the hood line up again. the grille is cracked up good. Bumper is scratched but not dented.

wait were you the one that hit your friend in the Lancer who hit the Cherokee?

Bumper just needs some sanding and repainting, grille is done, just pray to the Holy Lord your hood is not bent. Otherwise you're fucked, unless you want that IS-F style hood bulge.

GL with the repairs.

It's not that bad, I had a small accident with my old car and I had to change the hood, both lights, a fender, radiator support and the radiator itself. I managed to buy all the parts for 700 bucks and installed everything with my dad. Of course the parts for TL's are harder to find, thus more expensive, but I don't think that it will be very hard on your wallet.

When I first read about it, I thought that the damage was simmilar to what I had on my old car, but it's not that bad. Stay optimistic and good luck with the repairs.

Well you all just made me feel a whole lot better about all of this. I am still sick about it because it was in such nice shape.

Any ideas on what grille I should look for? How bout a hood?

Thanks again.

ebay has grills and if you get lucky you might be able to find a hood or grill in a salvage yard.

Parts are so expensive for the TLs that mine was totalled for a minor front end hit because used parts are near impossible to find and there is no aftermarket.
