balls...

So my friend sat on my hood and put a dent in it this weekend...

















ha just kidding. Looks kinda like it in the pic no? might just be me. I got hit by a F150. He backed into me and crumpled my hood, which pushed some things back and cracked open my headlights. The hood also wont open so...i dont think ill change the brake fluid this week I had to drive home for 7 hours fearing the hood would fly open...felt a bit retarded on the highway. Heres some more pics.





Sorry for the picture quality they were off my phone.

Try to get both headlight replace even though only one got broken. Reason why just tell them the headlight may not match or ask them to restore both headlight after repair is complete.

That what I did

Yes he was insured with geico. I left right after the cop finished the report and i heard from some friends that the same guy got into another accident an hour later

And the other headlight is also cracked open (not as badly) so both really do need to be replaced lol.

update

Finally got the car back and im pretty happy with the repairs except for this...





CONDENSATION! Looks like the drivers side headlight (the one with no problem) is from Honda and the passenger is aftermarket, and built like sh**. I'm going to try to see if i can get the shop who did the repairs to send me a new headlight because i really dont want to take the time right now to try and reseal this one.

Oh and now that i have a fresh new grille on there i dont know if i should make another mesh style one or keep it like this. What do you guys think?

Leave the grille the way it is.

The headlights look so fresh.

glad they gave you a new grill.

and if the parts aren't OEM. you are allowed to demand the parts be original to what they were before someone else caused you this inconvenience.
