Default Front bumper .. what will need replacing?

Ok, from this picture:



all that needs replacing is probably part 35 listed below ... which is GM part number 10285643 @ $446 list, or $351 from gmpartsdirect.com .



I might need a new 11 (the impact bar) ... $150 from gmpartsdirect.com, but i would think parts 35 and 22 would be ok, right? I can't see any damage on the other side of the bumper there.

You might want to check the dealer for that part.
Shipping might be higher then dealer mark up.

Doesn't look to bad...

Dealer list is $446.64. gm partsdirect with shipping is $351. Dealer wholesale is $334, but with tax that's more than $351.


It doesn't look bad in that picture, but it needs replacing.

I think you will need a crash bar to. The gap bumper to hood is touching driver side? how is the gap on the other side?

90% of the time if the impact bar took a direct hit youll need a new one, I'm not sure from that picture though, could you take one a little further away?

I'll go see if I can get enough light to get a good shot. The impact bar has been scrapped from driveways and stuff, but I don't think it's bent. the front of the car isn't damaged structurally at all, it's just all scratched up.

That's the honeycomb part right Curtis? All I can say is goodluck, cuz my body shop said that GM changed design's, so a BUNCH of stuff had to be changed...I would go through Jeff Kopp if possible. :cheers: He helped me out A LOT with my wreck.

You can see the crash bar if you open the hood and it is the thing that you light wires go though. Its made out of fiber glass. Just did one of these last yr and the cost was $200 though a buddy that works at a dealership..I wish you lived closser I would have that up and running again in no time..
