Default Help me find this piece

I just thought it was called the "nose piece" but I can't find a replacement for the nose anywhere. I was hoping ya'll could tell me the official name for this busted off piece and possibly even link me to where I can but a new one w/ necessary mounting hardware. Maybe it's a little bit of overkill with the pics but I wanted to show where the damage began and ended.

It's the front bumper. All the vendors sell them. You can get the original urethane or a flex fiberglass one. They also sell the mounting hardware.

Are you looking for a new front bumper? Ecklers carries the OEM urethane ones or most catalogs, including Wilcox carry fiberglass bumpers.

That would be the bumper the best one Ive found is Toledo pro Glass .If you buy them both at the same time you save money.you will need the re-tainers + bolts and the metal strips to put in the bumpers and bolt them to the car . the front is the hardest to do .

Lol thanks guys, I'm feeling all stupid now it's just that I was thinking the bumper itself was the metal piece behind the fiberglass that would be covering it.

^^^So is this what I'm needing? I was looking at it before and it just didn't look like it was what I needed considering how crappy it looks w/o the bumper.

Alrighty I ordered one along with the retaining hardware. I had to make sure of everything bc if I'm gonna be forking over more than $350 for everything I better be damn sure of what I need lol. At least the black shouldn't clash with the red tooooo bad until I get the whole thing painted :|

Need more pics

You might want to start now by spraying penatrating oil on all the rusted nuts that hold the retainer on. Most of them will probably bust anyway.
