Default Truck Got Hit Yesterday

:mad: Well, an idiot ran a red light last night and tore the front end of my truck up. It will all have to be replaced (I am hoping for no frame damage). I think I might as well upgrade while I am at it. I had not worried about so I have not researched any. I am looking for suggestions of aftermarket bumpers, hoods, grilles, and maybe some denali headlights. Any suggestions for any of this would be appreciated to help me start in the right direction.

Here is how my truck looks now.

yeah, that was my fault.....I had just gotten estimates to repair that on Tuesday. I was kinda hoping his insurance would take care of it all, but I doubt that will happen.

Just glad I was in the truck. In my car it could have been worse.

Damn Dave. Sorry that happened bro. Just gives you an excuse to upgrade to the aftermarket parts though.

Yeah the guy was speeding. My best guess is that he was rolling 40-45 and never hit the brakes
