Hi,
Wednesday, unfortunately, I accidentally rear ended a Ford explorer at about 10-15 MPH. Does anyone have any advice on fixing it? No internals are damaged besides the radiator. Does anyone know where good places are to get new cosmetic parts like bumpers, lips, headlight the housings, etc. Thanks for any help guys, I'm really bummed and I just wanna try to get my balt fixed.

 

did your lip get destroyed in the crash? Im sure ebay would have some stuff like the headlights and the bracket. The bumper i wouldnt be to sure tho maybe ced but its not going to be cheap

 

lkq has good prices, as well as ebay

no local junkyards

 

Set of headlights w/ brackets 371014977825 item number from ebay

New bumper from ebay: 331597268678

 

LKQ or Keystone

 

Any photos of the damage

 

If you are looking for new parts, just get an estimate from a body shop and they should have the part numbers on the estimate, then you can search online for them. And as others suggested, LKQ or local junkyards for used parts. I work at a body shop and write estimates all day

 

Or craigslist could be your friend

 

I took it to a body shop and the guy said that you can order after market parts like bumpers and such online, but they may not fit properly and be less quality than OEM. I dont have a quote yet. LKQ fits and has good prices?

 

Aftermarket body panels and bumpers usually have fitment issues so I would stay away from them.

 

Bags go off?

 

Yeah aftermarket parts are terrible

 

Headlights... Modernperformance.com has a few nice options.
Bumper... order from GM because aftermarkets never line up right.
May as well upgrade the radiator... ZZP or OTTP.
if you can... hold off till Black Friday when they have huge discounts.

 

Nope.

 

black Friday? om...we are in july...?
