Well lets just say I got in a collision today. I will need the following parts. I know people who will put them on but they will need to be painted. How much do you think this will all cost new and from a salvage?

-both front fenders
-grille
-bumper mounts
-header panel

if you can find a u pull u can probably get all the parts for like 50 bucks. they are super easy to install also.
edit: thought u had a 96- for 97+ it will probably be a lot more unless u get lucky and do find one at a u pull it. its still easy to install though

For what years would those parts fit?

Mine is a '98 Sport.
So would it be anything post '97?
