Something looks different. How much did you get all the parts 4? and did you double sided tape on the rocker mouldings?

Yep, the only thing that was off about it was that there is an extra plug. I was freaking out after putting it in cuz I couldn't figure out where the hell it went. Posted pics over on YC and one of the guys figured out that its supposed to go to a hood ajar sensor that my car doesn't have. So I just ziptied it out of the way.

And I honestly can't say how much it all cost me, I didn't really keep track. I just pieced everything together one thing at a time

I'm interested on the scoop with insurance. They can't blame "aftermarket parts" because it could've been anything, someone who doesn't like you ran up and set the front fender well plastics on fire, headlight harness, hid ballast, either way, that's what comprehensive is supposed to cover. Do you have comprehensive? what insurance company?

Blue looks much better IMO, good job on updating to SS front, did the same when my LS got backed into.
