hey all. recently bought an 87' camaro rs and it was definitely in some type of fender bender on the front end but hopefully all fixable. my current situation is this part (pics attached) is shredded and need a new one but can't find it and don't really even know what to search. The grey plastic piece that fits under and over along the headlights, you can see its only partially attached in front.. Already bought a new front impact bar and bumper cover as well, but need this fixed first.
Thanks in advance
The one in the picture is a little dinged up but doesn't seem structurally compromised. I bought one from Rock Auto but I had to spend some time making it fit. Had to drill the headlight divider panel holes and clean a ton of mold flash off the threaded studs. Other than that, it fit fine. I recommend buying new clip nuts. Any ACE or TSC should have them.

The one in the pic is totally shredded, more on the sides outside of the pic. It's also bent to the point I can't fix unfortunately. I ordered a new one from ecklers on ebay, hopefully it fits. By the clip nuts do you mean the 5 on the middle top piece? Thanks for reply!

I would steal as many of the clips of the old one you have now. There are two sizes and a lot more than 5 if I remember. I would also take a marker to mark the position of the brackets that hold that on. There is adjustment there for nose alignment and you'll want to get it back to where the brackets were originally. Will save you time later.

Sweet, thank you. Haven't looked into it a whole lot as far as installation, was kinda just hoping it would be as simple as it seems haha. Maybe not. Thanks for the info
