So the Fiance, decided she would bump into another car and crack her bumper cover, front grille, and grille molding.
So of course instead of spending hundreds to get all these fixed from the body shop, i've decided to try my handy work out and see what i can do myself.
My plans are to replace the front bumper cover with a new replacement i found online for about $70, i've decided since i can't stand the normal look of the LS with the plain Jane plastic bumper that turns a lovely oxidized powder color, i'm going to paint both the front and rear bumper covers to match the Black Metallic paint. While i've got the front end apart i'm also going to restore the yelllowing headlights with some polishing compound and buffer wheel.
I bought a cheap mesh grille in the mean time that is currently on the car to hold her over thru the winter. Here are some pictures of the before. I'll be working on the rest over the weekend and should have pictures of the finished product in the next week.
