So I heard back from the shop today about my car…if some of you may remember, I took it in when I messed up the bumper and jarred my radiator loose. Anyway, I messed it up pretty good. Apparently I did in fact rip the core support loose, and they had to remove the bumper and some other stuff just to fix everything. Total cost will be around $400 when I pick it up tomorrow.

Any ideas of what I can do with the front end? I messed up some of the brush guards pretty good, and I’ll probably have to take them off. How important are they, and what are some ways I can protect stuff?
