thats the left side, technically. Is that the side that was smashed? If so, it looks fine in the pics. The front bumper looks slightly off, but they often do because they are plastic. It has a slight bluish tint to it. Keep the white, by the way. It looks good with those wheels.

you found a diamond in the dirt if there was only a g worth of damage... good find looks real nice for the price. im assuming there wasnt any frame damage if it only cost a stack to fix the damage?

You've done very well. Very nice car, nice rims, nice wing. White was one of the rarest colors, keep it white!
And if you realy want to change the color then do it tastefully, as in no pink, purple or any of the other extravagant colors.
Black with a blue tint, Silver or Titanium Metallics, Innocent Blue Mica come to my mind as excellent choices but it is all a matter of personal taste.
Make sure you go all the way and have the engine bay painted too. That means you'll have to pull the motor and all wiring, and etc.
Good work & good luck on your project!
