In response to the questions:
1) Headlights are fine, as is the engine bay. I haven't opened the hood in fear of not being able to close it again, but she drives fine, no sounds, no whining, no visible oil leakage, no outrageous fuel consumption. Even the coolant tank is fine, and that's flimsy plastic and sits at the front.
2) I hit an Accord. You can't see it on the pic, or any of the other ones I took, but it's exhaust pipe left a neat little circle under my right headlights.
3) I'll look into the JDM front, I did find a bumper (unpainted) for roughly $270.
4) I'm also debating whether or not to do it with my dad. This car, while being our project, is also my DD, so I don't know if I want to take the risk of screwing it up. And thanks, that eliminates one place.
