Driver Side Rear - This was Hit and Run #2, did the most damage, the tail light is scraped and they are replacing that. The 1/4 panel is dented in more than the pictures show.

Driver Side Front - This was Hit and Run #1 where they left a fake phone number. The reflector is cracked and the painted is beyond just a buff out. Both rear and front overall shots I think show the good body condition the rest of the car is in.

Passenger Side Rear - Shows the front and upper rear portions of the rear wheel well's new rust.

Here's the interior's shape. Floor rugs make it look a lot dirtier than it is.

I was thinking new tailights like these, do they fit well? They're not flashy like the old ones, are they?

Also, dont know if I should bother getting these. I'd probably do a black/grey combo, they look pretty good as far as fit and are only 200. However, I don't know if the car would sell for at least 200 or more based on this investment you think? Maybe only a good idea if I decide to keep it? Which begs the question, what overall selling value if the body is fixed would I gain on spending lets say 350 bucks on those seat covers, floor mats, and a new int driver handle (a little cracked but works) and a new horn button (I may have it somewhere though).
