I'm trying to replace my smashed up headlight bracket without removing the whole bumper cover, I got the old one out in pieces but the new one won't fit. Figured if ask before I have to spend time taking it off then having to re align it when I put it back on.

You'll have to remove the bumper cover. You're over complicating the job by not just doing so. Remove bumper cover. Install header. Reinstall bumper.

I guess I'll have to tackle the hack job done on that too at the same time then, I really didn't want to have to deal with that just yet.

Is there anywhere online I could find parts for the front bumper? While taking it off I found a bunch of brackets and bolts missing including the plastic honeycomb thing.

Head to the junkyard and strip off whatever you need, I always see tons of LT1 Camaros. Then you'll be able to see what exactly you're missing and how it all goes together.

There's none around, I've been making calls forever trying to find one for parts. Is there a good diagram around showing everything? I might be able to fab something up.

Kind of blurry, but hopefully this will help. You can post up some pics of your front end for help with identifying missing parts, there are quite a few of us who have torn down the front end and will be able to tell.

^^ this diagram doesn't even have the headlight panel on it.

He was asking about front end components like the crash bar, he didn't specify what he needed. The header panel is on a different drawing.

I haven't been able to get over there to work on it but I managed to make one of the brackets I needed, there's still two small ones I've never seen before that attach to the core support and headlight panel I believe. I'll post some pics up of what I'm missing when I can get over there.

I need to know what bracket attaches to the bolt hole in the core support at each side and where it goes to, here's a picture of the hole.


I'd also like to find out what kind of bolt goes under each headlight through the headlight panel and bumper.

93-97 Camaros don't use those. Those are for Firebirds, it's where the headlights bolt to.

Okay thanks then it's all back together right then.
