I was on I-95 headed home from a Scion show. It was raining and I lost control of my car (hydroplaned), spun out, hit a Buick on the side and she spun out, hit the wall. I was going about 45 in a 55. I basically need a new front bumper, both grills, hood, underbody panels, and head lights.

I've noticed some people have been able to score jdm projector head/tail lights, body kits, c/f hoods, etc. from insurance. How do you guys do this? I want them to replace my 06 head lights with the 08 projector head lights and tell them I had an oem lip on my front bumper. How do I go about being slick like this? The lights on my car are clearly the 06 lights. I have my crashed bumper in my trunk. What should I do? Thanks in advance for any help!

I just took the insurance payout after obtaining some estimates to fix what was actually damaged with the same parts. I then purchased the new parts and paid for the labor from the insurance proceeds. Nothing improper or slick about it. Good luck.

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
