guys, here is update status of my car:

I went to a body shop and got a estmate, the shop will fix all the body work and paint job, and they are willing to take off the headlight for me, so all I need to do is to bake them and swap out the diffusers. how you guys think about this deal, oh BTW the shop quote me $570.00 without the headlight work.....
how hard is actually to bake the light house and changing the diffusers?

Thank you!

Again...wait until the ding day - if the paint isnt cracked Erich could be less than 1/4 of that cost.

the problem of that dent is that it is right on top of the right fender at the bump line(don't know what it called), so it might not be easy to remove....

You are right, it might not be easy to remove. However, Erich IS good at what he does. Give him a shot first.

Removing the headlight takes 20mins on a car that is fully assembled. No need to pay a body shop to do that.

the shop told me that the headlights have to be off the car, when they fix the fender and wet sand the front bumper, so i told them i can fix the diffuser by myself, and after i done with them, i send them back to shop and let them put them back on.... so now, the only thing i really have to deal with is baking the lamps and changing out the diffusers....i have no expierence at all by messing with headlight lamps, so how hard to do this project?

its easy if you know what you are doing - and could lead to probs if you dont.
when do you need this done by, and do you want Urmil, Pete or I to do it for you?

I order the JDM clear diffusers couple days ago, after i get them here, then i can drop my car at the shop, they will take off the lamps and give me a call. That would be so great if anyone of you guys can help me on this... thank you so much!
