Angry LT/LS Grille on my SS.. HELP

Car was wrecked... Took it to a body shop... Came back looking like this... Want it fixed NOW...

I told the body shop that this is NOT what comes on an SS.. Exact response was, "Well all I do is plug in the serial number and this is what pops up".. Also said that whatever I HAD on there, HAD to of been aftermarket... and I had nothing....

As embarrassing as it is, here's some pics to better explain everything..




Here is a picture of what my car looked like prior to the wreck.. just normal SS everything...


Now.. What will I need to get it back to exactly how it was?
Will this do it? Cobalt SS Radiator Grille Upper 15276343

Thanksssss

After doing a tad more research... it looks like the cross bar that I want, is part of the bumper..? Is that correct? So all i'd need to do is remove this chrome thing, and get the chevy badge?

that chrome piece was optional on 05's only IIRC... it was never on an SS and should just be double back taped on from what ive seen... badges are 28 bucks shipped from CED IIRC

So a badge should be all i'm missing, correct? Take this chrome thing off, and then i'll just need a badge?

I installed one as a dealer option on an LT and it required you to cut the factory bumper crossbar out. Might want to check that out asap!

Factory crossbar is part of the bumper.... so they'd have to order me a new bumper also, correct?

OH MY ******* GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD.

Here's the deal....




Anyone know what a complete new bumper will cost? Also, will it come painted?
And can anyone tell if that is the correct grille (or whatever you wanna call it) for the SS/SC?

You sure? The area in the middle where the crossbar should be looks a tad big? Doesn't really look like this.. http://www.crateenginedepot.com/Coba...10339C838.aspx

I don't beleive that is the correct grill.....because of how big the flat piece is for that chrome trim piece....it looks like a diff grille too.

They screwed up. You can show them pictures of the car immediately before they got it. They need to make it right. I'd be all over them and if they don't make it right I'd have my insurance company get all over them.
