Realizing it after-$priceless...... haha had too

He said he replaced the tires already........

Mike, you DUMASS! :max:

Lol at paying 1k for a nose...

For oem parts, probably not too much off on that pricetag. If you get all of it locally, you can save on the shipping, but if it comes from tech or anywhere else, gotta go freight with em. And if its coming to your house vs a commercial site, you're looking at a minimum of $100 added onto it.

Just so ya know, nothing fits as well as oem parts, don't waste your money or time on aftermarket stuff. IMO it never looks right no matter how hard you try to line it up. There are very few places that do a really good repo, but you're paying for the quality of it, which still comes out to pretty damned near, if not more than, oem parts prices. Might want to check out the bumper cone as well as hood latch, cables, all the plastics inside, etc.

Rip it all apart first and make sure 100% that you got it all listed up so you don't go and buy what you think you need and be like, "Oh shit, forgot I needed part x, y, and/or z." Nothing sucks worse than that when trying to put something back together thinking you have everything but end up being short something.

Well having 4 years of experience at a school, a knowledadgeable grandfather, and working at an a+ rated body shop, I know all about the difference between aftermarket and oem.

I have had my instructors, grandfather and myself all agree that there is no structural damage and no other damage aside from the headlight panel. ill be doing all the work myself but I just wanted to see if anyone here had some parts laying around.

Thanks for the tips guys but I have a decent idea on what I'm doing haha

1k is a low estimate for new OEM front clip parts (if you can even find em). When I had my car fixed I tracked down a new OEM 93-97 bumper at some Chevy warehouse down south for ~$450!!! I wasn't having none of that aftermarket bs, and it was through insurance so screw it. I don't see any logic paying out of pocket for OEM bumper fenders and hood...
But I don't think he is gonna be ordering parts and having them shipped, seems like he is looking for a used OEM local front clip. Based on his thread I think he can handle it lol.


So Steve, where the hell are the pics of the damage anyway?

Showcases all the damage done. Its minor but its there and it sucks considering I just repainted the car but such is life. Ordering a headlight panel and new headlights to make it functional
