hope you knocked a wad off the price for that damage! bummer, though. maybe it's just asking for mods?? CF hood, Cefiros and not sure about the bumper, though. don't get the skyline one. maybe it can get cleaned up and then put the stillen lip on there to make it purty!

Yeah man, I hope you got the max for a really good price considering the condition. The only thing I can think of is just replacing the parts if it's that bad.

You can get all this done for pretty cheap, depending on labor costs for paint in your area. Front bumper cover 125 from pinnacle nissan, $75 for used fog lights, well that's what I got mine for, and the rest depends on the price for labor in your area.

Id get the hood and bumper sanded and repainted. As for the headlamps, I would attempt to wet sand with a fine grit sand paper and buff with some specialty plastic compound.
