I'm not having a good day. I rear-ended a nice little old lady on my way home from a funeral. Everyone is ok, so now all I can think about is my poor car.

Headlights and grill? seem ok, but the body metal above them (containing the hood latch receptacle) and below them have been bent. The top part at least looks like it bolts in and could be replaced. The engine compartment does not seem to have been compromised and the car drives fine. The hood and fenders were not damaged.Can I just bolt in a new piece from a junkyard above the grill? Is the lower piece also bolt in or is it solid piece of the main chassis? Are there other places I should look for damage?
