Header Panel Replacement?
I was wondering if anyone has used after market header panel replacements. I bought one a few weeks back, and turns out, it doesn't match up 100% to my bumper. Where the bumper holds the headlights, there is that section where the header panel sits. Well, the panel I bought doesn't match up perfectly there, its straight across, it doesn't have the two notches that its suppose to.
Has anyone else purchased an A/M Header Panel that matches up on the bumper there? If so, where did you purchase it from?
Header is like this -
Isnt an exact fit. It should have the two notches in it like the bumper...
So, has anyone else bought an A/M header panel WITH the notches? If so, where from. I need to buy one, unless I can find a used one for sale in the 4Sale Forums.

I did have to modify it just a bit. Had to cut a rib out where it go's over the hood lach area. just a hack saw blade and snaped it out, all of 30 seconds.
And i will be buying the pass fender, and nose cover from them shortly since like the header panal so much.

Every account on the ebay body stuff I have heard has generally been bad.
For example, http://www.camaroz28.com/forums/showthread.php?t=462927
Stick with OEM for body parts.
Yeah I understand just trying to let you know that you may not be satisfied with the aftermarket body stuff cause most people aren't.

I start my new job monday, so Ill be making a crap load of money, Ill have two jobs, bringing in like 1500$ a week between my two jobs. I think im going to go take it to a local collision shop and have them find me the parts and repaint it for me, would probably be alot easier in the long run, so I can get rid of these crappy aftermarket parts.
And I've been looking for three months, I havent been able to find any bumpers or fenders for sale here, never seen any. :-/
Edit: Found a fender on ebay, same color as my car But Ill completely re-doing it anyway, so it looks new(probably re-painting entire car anyway). Only bumper and header panel to go. And the top dash panel, thats probably the most expensive one
