Car Update
My car almost looks normal now. With a quick trip to French Lake Auto Parts and $100 over Thanksgiving weekend, I got headlights and a grill--all used parts. The edges of the hood are raised a bit above the fender on each side. Compared to the hole allowing anyone to peer at my radiator, this is a great improvement. Now it just looks like someone who's been punched in the nose.
By the way, anyone who calls my accident a "fender bender" is wrong. The fenders are perfectly intact. It was the hood that bent.
