Front facia
Last summer I had a little run in with a low curb. As a result my front facia is a bit scratched up and warped and I would like to replace it. I have seen some in the for sale section, and I just have a few questions.
1. Will a non-98 bumper fit on the car without modifications or major problems?
2. About how long should the swap take?
3. The right "bar" that is underneath the car is also a little bit bent. Do I need to find a new one, or can it be bent back without hurting the car?
4. Does anybody have a pewter front facia in good condition that is just lying around the garage? :)
Thanks for ALL your help

Done that on the high sidewalk area in shopping center--mine was minor as the curb almost fit under the front and just scraped it up but it also ripped the plumbing loose off the blower-- :mad if you have to buy a replacement you may want to look at some of the aftermarket stuff some of them look great and are much cheaper in most cases to the stock stuff--

Can't help you out with a spare front facia but to remove one only takes about 20 minutes and as far as the bar thats bent, unless it is prohibiting you from installing the front facia then don't worry about it.
Here's a link to a place that sells a great looking front facia. http://www.tigersharkcorvette.com/
