Finally got pics of my car all fixed up!

Post by 00Beast »

As most of you know, my mom backed into my car with her suburban. Broke the bumper and one headlight, and bent the hood.

Pics Here: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=9384

So insurance covered it, and my parents covered the deductible, and we finally got it to the body shop. It got a new bumper, brand new GM headlights, hood got straightened, and dings in the fenders got fixed, as they had to blend into the fenders anyways. They also re-painted the passenger side mirror, as it was scuffed up. So, with no further adieu, here are the pics!!

Behind my car in this pic you can see the culprit of this all, lol.

I'm too chicken to do them myself. Next time I meet up with andrew (more than likely MWBF) we'll clear them.

Thanks for all of the compliments!! *cough* COTM *cough*

And yes, it's illegal in MN to not have a front plate. Something about reflectivity, and being able to see license numbers from both ends of the car.

EDIT: If you have a vehicle that's over 25 years old, and use standard plates, then you only need a rear plate. All other cars need a front plate.

IMO, the front plate doesn't look that bad, and it's not worth getting a ticket over. It's one of those little things that you just have to deal with. I have the front filler panel on the shelf, and it's not bothering me.
