Last December I wrecked my explorer into a tree. Having owned it since new it was long paid off, i lowered my insurance because i was out of work. BIG MISTAKE. Had to fix it on my own. Found a great site for parts.

usautobodyparts.com ships out of illinois so i picked the parts up myself saving $250. Replaced the hood grill bumper chrome trim and all hood parts( hinges and latches. After sitting outside all summer the primer that was on the hood had faded from black to brown so i decided to try my hand at a rattle can paint job. It can be done and doesnt look nearly as bad as i had thought it would.
