Default Truck hurt my GS...

Well today my dad was backing up our truck and somehow managed to hit the GS. It scratched up the hood and dented it. And broke the right head light.



But, my friends, there is good news. I have just ordered new headlights that I've wanted for a while.

Those new headlights will burn out in a week. Many threads on them being garbage. Buy OEM or do a retro, but its your car. Take your dads wallet to pay for it. Another reason not to live with your parents. GL

I would have gone with the oem headlights, but those headlights can look hot if other parts of the car are changed imo. I would be worried about the hood!
