Alright so heres the deal.... The lady smashed our 97 280 this morning in parking lot. Her first fender bender. A good start. The exterior of bumber is toast. She even pushed front frame far enough to stop one of the radiator fans from spinning. Grill is also seeya. I'm figuring about 2500-3000 in damage if she didnt screw the hood up. Hood is out of whack but no kinks or visible damage to it. I'm thinking I could get a complete body kit for this car for less than oem bumper. But because it is a 97 tha sideskirts are very different. Deductible is 500, If total estimate is 2000 or less I'm not even reporting it. Give me ideas if possible on replacing this lame oem body styling-MOE Thank you

i have a 97 front bumper for sale if you need it. There are many routes you can go from replica kits to the real deal. or you could get a rieger kit which is pretty afforadable. I think jason H is selling one.

Sorry to hear about your mis fortune, but good luck with the repairs .
