The front a rear bumpers are bent down and there's a civic nose piece stuck on my rear bumper attached to the rear of my truck.

I'm thinkin some paint matching going on real soon..

i know you dont have the 06-07 front end, but these pics might help you get a good idea of what to do.

im gonna make my truck in these pictures look identical to this one. i think this truck is about the best looking front end ive ever seen on the 06-07 classics.

Thats exactly how I wanna paint match. And who knows, if I get a big enough check out of this I may buy an 06-07 hood and grill

Here's a couple pics of how it looks.



I didnt get any pics of the damage, its not really pic worthy other than the guys civic that rear ended me looks totaled. My rear bumper is scuffed pretty good and the front bumer is pushed up a little bit and the air dam is broke. I think just the bumper brackets are bent but the insurance company will probably pay for new bumpers and air dam. And since my bumpers are paint matched black already I can tack that on too.
