I attached the images there and I already got the estimate. The guy lost the case so I'm getting paid for my car. Which is good news because I'm gonna fix it and get some money back so I can fix my speakers, power lock and while I"m fixing the car I might as well modernize it to the 09 look. Now I need to make sure the only thing different between the 05 and 06,07,08,09 is the following.

Headlights- The newer ones have headlights which have little boobs.... Hard to describe but the older ones are a solid shape while the other ones have indentations.

Bumper- The bumper is different to accommodate the new shape of the headlights.

Grill- The grill is different but it seems to have the same dimensions


Now from my understanding of the PT Cruiser they are all the same internally (screws and what not) So I could put the newer parts on my older PT with no problem correct?

I'm also thinking of putting HID (Xenon Lights) and put those Halo ish fog lights.... and could someone explain the vinyl eyelid thing...

Over all any recommendations are nice my budget is $1300 ish I can get the fender for $75 bucks and I get the paint job cheap (my dad works in the automotive industry and he knows people) I still need to see exactly whats going on but I know I'm getting paid close to 1000.

EDIT- After much researching I think I'm gonna go with this

I just need someone to confirm that this will infact fit with my 05 PT correct? That and the fact thatI need to change my headlights.
