How much $$ to fix this?

[CinTurbo]

I know it won't be much - can someone help?

I guess I'll only need the plastic grill piece, unless I replace the front lip too. Or I was thinking I could just take the front lip off.

What do you think?

About $30 for the lower grille piece from the dealer.

ocuh man, i saw that at the meet and thought "damn" id just call the dealer and see what a new one cost and then see if a body shop will touch u the paint for you. I wouldnt pay more than 100 bucks or so

I figured it would be somewhere around there. I guess I'll just call the dealer. Thanks!

What about replacing it with something else? Has anyone done this?

 

[KYMP5]

someone makes a billet grill for them. or just get rid of the grill and get a big front mount

how in the hell did that happen?

 

[jersey_emt]

Probably the same thing that happened to me...rock.

 

[CinTurbo]

Not just a rock - a freakin' piece of concrete flew out of a truck and was bouncing in front of me on the highway. There was traffic on both sides of me so I had no where to go! So I just kind of "played the bounces" so that it wouldn't bounce on to the hood. Finally it went under my car and I thought maybe I got lucky b/c I didn't ever hear it hit. Then when I went to the car wash that day I noticed it! GOD I WAS PISSED!

 

[CinTurbo]

But then again - at least it hit there and not something more vital or expensive!

looks like the bumper cover needs repainting, if so your looking at 200+ to do it right.

What does it look like without the front lip? I would assume that it would look just like the 03's. But I'm curious what it looks like under the front lip on the 03.5's. Mainly the paint. Has anyone taken/left the lip off?
