A truck hit my G35 a few days ago and I'm planning to fix it myself, but want to make sure I order all the correct parts.

1. Hood Hinges are pushed back a bit, causing hood to hit the fenders near the windshield when opened.2. Outside Temperature is reading -22 Degrees... Anyone have a picture of the temperature sensor so I can identify it? Any idea where to get a replacement?3. Right after the accident, there was steam and some antifreeze leaking from the car, but today I noticed the radiator is full still and when I let the motor reach full temperature I see no leaks. Any thoughts on how to figure out where my leak is? Doesn't seem to leak now but if I need to replace the radiator, might as well do it when I replace the radiator support.

Finally... D&H Quality Discount Auto Parts on eBay has most of the parts I need and seems to have reasonable prices. Haven't been able to find one in a junk yard locally, so I'm probably stuck with ordering new OEM parts. Anybody delt with these guys?

I'm in Austin, TX if any of you know of good local options or have some parts. Also my car is Diamond Graphite, would love to find a bumper and hood thats already been painted!

I don't know about body work but it might be your A/c Compressor lines leaking. check and see if your ac works cold. The AC lines run to the Radiator "look alike" in front of the real radiator.

Thanks for the help guys!

Got the OEM Hood and Radiator support on the way. Went with an after market bumper, mesh grill and went ahead and finally ordered a z-tube and jwt intake. Should be looking great very soon.

I haven't been able to find the hinges anywhere.

The ones off the car say AL5R and AL5L and I've searched for 65400-AL50A and 65401-AL50A as well. Any idea where to find them?

Turned out my radiator is fine, as was the temp sensor (I forgot I had unplugged it, lol). Just a small puncture in the A/C Tubing was the leak I saw and why my A/C wasn't working.
