Well, after hitting Bambi semi recently, I decided to replace my front emblem.
Yeah it was all covered by the cover. Good thing I bought a cheap one from ebay. Repair came out to $2400 because the rear quarter panel got damaged too and it's connected all the way to the front.I see the cargo cover so I'm guessing the grocery bag was not in sight?

Access to the brake fluid reservoir and battery are no problem.

Your brake fluid looks very dark! When was the last time it was flushed and filled?
Don't mean to pick on you but...
Those battery terminals look like they need a bit of attention too.
So the pictures were taken before all of these maintenance work? Nice!Brake fluid was replaced a few months ago with Ravenol dot 4 at the same time the belts were replaced, the battery terminals were cleaned and sprayed with a corrosion protector around the same time. so good to go for a while.
The pics were taken after the work was done, unfortunately my phone doesn't really capture the lighting as well as it should, so it's a little deceptive in the pic, always 3 shades darker than what it actually is. Tried to adjust my camera settings to no avail, nice clean amber fluid in there.So the pictures were taken before all of these maintenance work? Nice!
Actually I haven’t seen a battery terminal clamp looks like that bad in your picture for a long time. The battery terminal clamps on my 22-year-old 1998 Honda CR-V still look like new as leaking battery is rare nowadays with better technology. I’d get a new OEM cable with new terminal clamp when you get a new battery, unless your clamp condition looks much better than in the picture like the brake fluid.The pics were taken after the work was done, unfortunately my phone doesn't really capture the lighting as well as it should, so it's a little deceptive in the pic, always 3 shades darker than what it actually is.

Battery terminals look a little dark because of the coating of corrosion protection spray that I used.

When this battery finally dies, it will be replaced with an AGM one like I have in my Volvo, so no worries about acid leaks or corroded terminals.
