Default I hit a tree - minor damage (pics) PLUS CAR UPDATES

I wasn't going over the speed limit (40) I just had my crappy tires on. I had put my steelies on earlier in the day so I could get snow tires on them the next day. I hit a bed of leaves on the road while it was raining and bam, straight into a tree up a hill a bit. Had I not hit the tree, the car would have flipped. Braking barely did anything with bad tread and the wet road/leaves.

Basically, my bumpter has a gash in it and lots of scratches, my fog lights are done for, and my front lip is gone. I took the rear one off so I wasn't driving around like an ***.

And my fix... I put an old fog light in from a different set I had. Tried to wire them up but can't get them to work even though the relay clicks on/off.

Also, here's a bunch of random stuff I put on my car the day before. I got it all dirty cheap from a friend. It's all useless stuff but if it's a good price for decent stuff, why not?

That sucks man! I was in an accident in my car recently too, phucked up my basically new black housing lights too. Hopefully you didn't damage yourradiator support like I did, everything else is fairly cheap to replace.
