This is a great project. The "look good, feel good" mentality extends to what you're driving in my opinion. The headlights alone were a huge fix, and you nearly restored the car to its original look.

Your aunt will drive this into the ground because it looks great and she's proud of her nephew!

I agree, and you're definitely right about the headlights. I didn't go into this in the image comments, but finding the body panels was pretty tough... there is a surprising lack of Highlanders at wrecking yards. Maybe they're still all on the road? So I thought, I'll just get the headlights and that will be good enough. But it was like putting lipstick on a pig; they looked so great that it made the hail damage look that much worse. So I ended up getting a hood and fenders that were less than perfect, but they look a heck of a lot better than what was on the car.
