new or used front clip?
i am in the process of restoring my 92 camaro rs and in the process of removing my old front clip two of the studs broke off that go from the headlight supports into the fenders and the original front clip is warped, my question is would i be better off buying all new or should i buy a complete used front clip with headlight supports, i just do not want to buy a used front end that is worse than the one i have now. used shipped is $200 while just a new bumber cover is over 275

It's probably a 6 in one hand, half dozen in the other type thing. Be aware that some aftermarket parts don't exactly fit correctly. I think I would opt for the used parts myself and just sand and paint them to match.

i would go used from my personal experiences with repro parts the headlightbars that r repro are really flimsy. and all the repro parts i got never fit right body lines never line up repro bumpers also dont have the emblem indent in them or the holes to mount the emblem at all
