The damage...
Permalink  
On my way to college when some slick road jumped out in front of me. I have the best tires and brakes (read: the rears don't work). Apparently, this isn't the best combination when you need to stop, which came as news to me. But you live and learn. Anyways, the stop sign was nice enough to stop us before the telephone pole had to, which resulted in some damage.

Anyways, on to what you came here to see:

Cut the fenders, get new bumper (factory ones can be had cheap I would think) and BAM good as new.

 x2!  Don't replace, upgrade!  If you want a grille and headlight surrounds let me know.  I'll make a junkyard run for you.  edit: I'd like to make a little off of it so it's worth my time and effort, so if there's a pick a part near you that might be better.
