will this be an easy fix? pic inside
the car used to belong to my ex girlfriend, she hit a wall at a car wash, tried to back up and ripped the nose off the car. the insurance company didnt want to fix it without totalling it out, so i bought it off of her for real cheap. am I gonna need a whole nose assembly or would it be easier just replacing the parts that i absolutely need? also wiill the bumper cover from a 91-92 rs work as well, since there seems to be a lot more of those around than z28's?
from the looks in the picture you will also need a headlight bar that goes across the whole front end of the car to hold the headlights. On the nose, if the tabs to where you mount the nose to the car are torn then you better start looking for a different one. Unless you can fix the broken tabs I am not sure on that. You can look from 85 to 92 camaros z28, iroc, and rs, the main part of the nose is the same just the ground effects are from 85-90 different from 90-92. Just my opinion looks like a easy fix, could be done in a day.

Thats an easy fix, I replaced everything doors forvard on my IROC when i nosed an elantra, so jus go to a junkyard and grab a complete nose, with the lught pannel and everything, make sure you grab all the brackets adn as much as you can, everything fender forvards you should take, just in case. If you dont kno how to line it up and put it on, take it to a shop. Should be nothing

SHould be a easy fix. depending on if it riped or tweeked the metal bumper supports. Even then its not to much more hassle.

i can't believe they'd try to total that car out! It doesn't even look like the fender was touched... at least no damage that can't be fixed without replacing it. It looks like you got some good advice so far. The nose itself still looks good for the most part. Maybe some of the studs need to be apoxyed back into the nose. It looks like you got a great deal there with the minimal work required
