a pics and year of your current car would be nice! if you have pre-LCI, you can upgrade to eurospec headlights they look very nice!
-1 with the cf mirror covers IMO!

Sadly, this is the only pre-crash pic I have of the car.
I got a wrench thrown into the mix last night. My wife needs some oral surgery. In my world, family comes before cars, so I am going to have to scale back my plans.
Re: Vorsteiner - Beautiful hood, crazy money.
Re: CF Pillars - I think you guys talked me out of them.
Re: CF Mirror covers - Hmm. Don't you think they'd match the hood?
Re: M-Tech front end by itself. - This makes a lot of sense.
Re: Wheels - I HATE my 124's, but replacements are soooo expensive.
Keep the suggestions coming!

Okay, this isn't meant to be as harsh as it's going to come off...
After reading through these posts, I would recommend saving the money and fixing your car.
If legitimate insurance claim moneys need to be used for another car and dental work, you don't have the money to spend on any mods in the first place.
What would have happened with her car and her dental work if she hadn't banged up the 5?
Just trying to put some perspective on things.

He's right. Save your money, the OP is clearly broke.

Here's the deal regarding mods. The OEM hood for the 5 is $1,200, plus $300 in paint. I have a hard time paying $1,500 for a hood that I don't like as much as a cheaper CF hood.
EDIT: ADD is right in the post below.

LOL! Not broke, just cheap. I can pay for the surgery and the Jeep repair (not hers, my weekend warrior, she drives a Honda) with plenty of cash on hand. I'd just rather not!

Okay, I'll bite. You state, "with plenty of cash on hand"
What do you call the money in your other hand from the insurance company?
Isn't cash, well um, cash?
You stated, "unfortunately..." regarding the 4x4, and "a wrench into..." , and "family before cars..."
How else was I supposed to read those remarks?
