I got in an accident a month ago with a pickup truck.
My hood was pushed up, and my grille was smashed.

I had some spare time, so i spent all afternoon with a block and a mallet trying to straighten out the hood. THen i made a temporary grille out of gutter guard (=

Tell me what you think for a repair job with a total cost of $3.19...

(P.S. This is a temporary measure. I plan to get a kit when i have the spare change)

find a way to clean up the edges a little bit and I would say that you've got yourself a winner

I'm not too worried about having it look perfect. It was just embarassing before.. i had a 2-3 inch gap on the sides of the hood over the fender where the hood was pushed up, and just the bottom chrome piece from the stock grille left.

This really will only be how it looks for a few months then I'm gonna get the Evo 7 kit.

Thanks for the feedback though!

As the others have said... impressive work. I wouldn't know from those pics that it had even been in an accident.

For a do-it-yourself body fix it looks great, reguardless of how banged up it was before... surprisingly the grill looks pretty dang good aswell. For $3.19 you can't go wrong
