I thought I'd post my pics from sprucing up my front bumper and other bits last fall:

It's previous incident history is long, but had always been taken to a shop, for better or worse.  The last place to touch it was Dusty's in AA about this time last year after I slid into a guy at a stop light.  The bumper/fascia was replaced, along with the hood, etc.  The PS mounting shocked me, since a reputable shop had fixed it all again.  It was just flopping around. 

I forget the price for the bumper replacement, but would have been at least $1k (again).  This just took time, though I had to replace a couple lower grilles on the bumper.  Other than that it was just cutting up strips of sheet Aluminum and buying some fasteners.

I posted these pics as an inspiration to you all!   ;D
