Pics Of Car After Alittle Fender Bender

I got into alittle fender bender couple months ago maybe like 2 or 3 and was to upset to talk about it. I came home and took the fender off which was the only thing really damaged that and a minor ding and scrape on the door. I also removed the front bumper and the lights. I ordered a c-west replica light kit from rx7trix with hella lights. Now im saving for a vertex 4 piece body kit either that or a 99 bumper and apexi side skirts. Im kinda feelin the vertex kit alot, its the only kit i like on the rx-7 and i wanted it for a while even though the 99 is hot also. Im also gonna need combo lights, I got a set but 1 is scratched up pretty bad. Maybe im gonna get a 99 wing also if vis makes me a replica. I also need a fender obviously. Then im gonna have the car repainted the factory billiant black.
So heres the before pics

make sure to keep the keys away from people who want to show your car off by cranking it with the intakes covered ;-)

The Vertex Kit...






And what I just realized...the Vertex kit is the SAME kit that Apexi used in the Japanese 2003 D1 (drift race) Championship, which the won

OK i got another question about people who had there cars painted after a accident. Do you think i should take a car for a alignment and have the wheels balanced myself or have the body shop do it. I got a tire place right here that wil probably overcharge me to do it. Can most body shops give the car a lignment right in the shop? Im just curious cause i defenitly wanta make shure the alignment is mint even though the car felt straight coming home from the accident i was to mad to really even probably get the best feel of the car. The wheels look perfectly straight also but i noticed on the rear wheel the weight for balancing was missing. Do you guys think i should handle this now or wait it is done? YOu think the body shop would charge me much?

I was gonna go 99 but i like the vertex side skirts and im definitly getting side skirts nd the rest of the kit matches it. I think the vertex kit is very clean looking and the only reason it may look alittle ricey from the front is because on the canards. Take those away and u got a low sitting 99 bumper without the plate and the lip. Also it is sopposed to be real light and be made out of fiberglass mixed with plastic
