What Should I F-ckin' Do?

[First Car...P5]

The Damage...
Cracked front bumper (minor) and left front wheel well cover (smaller thin plastic piece on the outer half of the wheel well) that needs to be completely replaced.

The Story...
On the way up to Casino Windsor (11:30PM) on I-75 north, I was following a SUV in the fast lane. All of a sudden it swerves over into the center lane and before I could even react (I got an "OH s***!" out) I smoke a bumper just chillin' in the lane with the front left side of my car. I forgot to mention this happened in Detroit where there's an over abundance of ghetto cars that just lets loose on the expressway with bumpers, hub caps, etc. etc. So yeah, the ghetto bumper won against my car.

So where can I find the replacement piece for my wheel well? Can anyone lead me to someone that's parting out their car? Should I just go to a junkyard?

Thanks for the help guys. I'll probably head to the dealer first tomorrow to see how much it'll cost there. If it's too expensive there, I'll just call up all the local junkyards. I'll get a few pics tomorrow. The plastic piece got tore up though...damn.

What sucks even more about this whole situation is I'm trying to sell my car right now...the bumper isn't all that bad, just needs some touch up paint. Just a lil' cosmetic damage on the bottom.

bummer. Perhaps don't follow quite so close next time - a better following distance ('two misissippi' sp?) will give you more reaction time. If the guy infront of me swerves for no 'good reason' that i can see - i swerve too! (if i can safely). Usually it was for a good reason. Only occasionally has it been becasue BoZo reached down for something...

heh, for me its a little more difficult. if he swerves to straddle, im ******
