    Smile Looking at Parts, need Opinions!

    I smacked a deer a few days ago, and am now looking at replacing some of the stock parts on my Scion tC with some different looking ones since they are ruined anyways.

    I am looking at the following items and would love your opinions/feedback on them. If you have purchased them, or know of a great website to do so from I'd love links too. This stuff is just stuff I have found on ebay/google from different shops online. Please tell me if you think the prices are reasonable or not. I am going into this blind at the moment but I wanna make sure I do my research and end up with things I am going to like the look of and be happy with.

    - JDM Black Housing Twin Halo LED Headlights/Fog Lights/Top Grille Piece (priced at 269.99), anyone have these? Like/Dislike? Have any tail lights you think go great with these headlights?

    - JDM Front Lower Grille (priced at 35.99)

    - JDM Full Lip Kit, includes front/back lip and side skirts (priced at 199.99)

    I also need the following items and am looking for great websites to purchase them from if anyone has any suggestions, or where I might be able to find the best price.

    - 07 Scion tC Plastic Front Bumper

    - 07 Scion tC Front Passenger Side Fender

    - 07 Passenger Side Door

    - Carbon Fiber Hood (open to suggestions as far as brands/places to buy!)

    - Any other Lip/Body kits you think look sexy!

    - I found a Plastic Carbon Fiber Mesh looking Grille on Ebay, however they only had the upper grille and I am interested in purchasing both of them. Know where I can find the set?

    Thanks ahead of time for any feedback!!

    First of all, there is no such thing as JDM for the Scion tC. The car is not sold in Japan.

    99% of the aftermarket headlights leak and are poor quality. I wouldn't recommend them. It's better to stick with the 05-07 reflectors or the 08+ projectors. With the latter being the better bet if you want to install HID. A badgeless grille is definitely the way to go. It really cleans up the front end. For fog lights, I would recommend VRD.

    A lip kit is entirely a matter of opinion. I'm partial to the RS1 kits, but that's just me. Instead of replacing the bumper with an OEM one, you could always buy a body kit that will look better. However, you may lose the fog light option unless you fab some yourself. Since you want the carbon fiber hood (Seibon) and you need a new fender, go ahead and get carbon fiber fenders as well. Seibon also makes carbon fiber doors.

    My final word of advice...don't buy anything from eBay. Their products are not usually made specifically for the tC and are very poor quality.
