Alright, as for the clear headlight covers that was somthing I was toying with at the time. If you think about it that was a year and a half ago and I was ahead of my time. If you look at the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish, Ferrari 575M Maranello and Lamborghini Murcielago. They all do the "headlight pocket w/ clear cover" thing. it sort of smothed it out a bit. But anyway those got stolen and I didnt like them enough to replace them.
As for the front end, thats not just new paint. The story starts out tragically. A year ago next month an old lady slammed on her brakes in front of me. I tried to miss her but hit her with that little bit of area to the outside of the turn signal. The front end was all bent up and the driver side fender. I was so upset for days about what happened to my baby. And couldn't sleep while she was in the shop.
But two weeks and $2500 later I have a brand new nose clip, front ground fx, fender and turn signals. All with fresh paint, including the hood of witch the clear coat was peeling anyway, excluding the turn signals, they didn't get fresh paint.
So in the end, A horrible thing turned into a blessing, the crappyiest part of my car got repainted. My bank account has recouped enough to start buying things for my car again. That was a lot of money for a high school seinor to shell out.
