Well it was about time that the Rain + Traffic plague hit me...I was driving to Orange county from San diego and with heavy rain and traffic, the pickup truck in front of me hit the brakes and even at a speed of 10-12mph my car slid and hit the rear bumper of the truck in front of me. We're all okay and his car only has rear bumper damage. My baby ofcourse is quite damaged. Here are some pics.

I'm guessing I need a new hood, front bumper, headlight, radiator, front grill, plus more.

I was thinking of replacing it with :
VIS CF HOODS
TRD CF Grill + L emblem.
I had the Win Racing (replica) bumper on it before so I was thinking of replacing it with the same bumper or perhaps the WISE Replica bumper...any suggestions? Can anyone suggest me any good bodyshops to go to and any place ot purchase the HOOD, Grill, and even the front bumper? Any headsup would be appreciated.

Thanks a bunch!

Wider wheels and some new brakes. Maybe all of the oil on the road made it happen though.
