Got my baby back from body shop... Everybody else said it would cost $2000+ to fix the front headlamp (scrunched), side panel, + else. This guy did it for $700, and I honestly can't tell the difference from new. The only thing is the new headlight's clearer than the original.

Now the dumb question... How do you adjust the aim of the headlight? The new lamp is aimming a bit too low.

when you open the hood, there will be two screws on the housing. One is for vertical and the other is for horizontal ( i think). There's also a level that's built into the housing. Park your car on a level surface, check the originial and try and aim the other one accordingly. If you have a flat driveway and a garage door, this works best. Use a line on the door for a visual.
