[jwth2005]

Hello all.. I have been coming here ever since i bought the car about a year ago... Unfortunately those of u that can remember my earlier posts about searching for a new bumper now know why... This is what i meant by "half a bumper".. I bought the car this way as i had no choice due to insurance reasons... Anyways about 6 months ago the black piece that you see there hanging down.. somehow snapped off the other side... I do not know how this happened or even what it is... But when i go to look at it it looks like it is supporting my radiator.. I need help before the other side breaks lose and i lose my radiator PLEASE HELP!!!


P.S. If anyone can host my picture sned me a PM!

It's not supporting the radiator... pretty sure it's some sort of brush guard or something..

oh damn.....

ok, i'm assuming you don't want to pay an assload for oem stuff, so here is my quick fix, get a simple 90 metal bracket from lowes, drill a couple holes in the two pieces and bolt the bracket on there to help hold the raiator up, should do the job, and if it doesn't work you are out $5, oh well....
