Hi guys, my Camaro was rear ended and pushed under a pick up truck a while back. The bracket that attaches to the headlight bucket was ripped clean off of the bucket but was not bent where it attaches to the car. Is it worth attempting a fix or should I just buy a new clip? Pictures attached below.

 

You don't need a whole new front end. Just the headlight bar. Shouldn't be more than a few dollars at a yard. The only reason I'd replace the entire bumper is if yours was ripped or torn.

 

Sorry I shouldn't have used the word clip..I meant 'or should I replace the headlight clip' aka the bar. I didn't realize they were so cheap. Did they change throughout the various third gens or was the headlight bar universal?

 

To my knowledge they were all the same from 82-92. I could be wrong though. Since the 82-84 nose changes with the 85-90, but the fenders, radiator support, and actual headlights stayed the same, I'd assume they are the same part. Maybe wait for someone else to confirm. If they are the same, there are thousands of them out there. If they are different, and you can't find one, I know I have one from my 82 I'm not going to use. I'd let it go cheap. PM me if you do end up needing one.

Edit: Assuming you car is an 83 since that's what the info at the left says. I've also got one from an 85 too.

 

Hawks has a used one for $75 plus shipping. They list as 82-92...so any year you can find should work.
