Default Another GTO down :(

well, friday i had my first accident. A young girl slammed on brakes in front of me and i didn't react in time and rear ended her and caused her to bump into another car. My car definitely received the worst of the damage and the accident was considered my fault. I just had my adjuster estimate the car and thankfully, he didn't total it. However, looking over the estimate, I know that i can get the Banshee hood for 100$ cheaper than the used stock hood he priced me. Knowing this, i'm trying to come up with a 500$ savings from original estimate so i can get the Monaro front end swap. So, my question to my LS1Tech friends is, where can i find cheap body parts? Or if anyone here would like to help to the cause, I need a drivers side fender, impact bar, both head lights, radiator for M6, fan shroud, upper radiator support, and an A/M Condenser assembly. If you have the parts and would like to sell (or give) i would greatly appreciate it. I will post pics of the soon.

Please don't do CF fenders. If you don't paint them, you're no better than a Honda driving ricer. You'll need a lot more than $500 to get the Monaro bumper. It's something like $1,700 from JHP before shipping and before paint.
I think I have a driver fender I'd be willing to sell that's I believe is in pretty good condition. It's from a wrecked PBM I have at my shop. I don't think the driver fender sustained any damage. And if it did, it's very minor. I know I have the driver headlight, as well, but, IIRC, some tabs may be broken off. If you have an '04, I have that radiator shroud, too. If you're interested in any of this, shoot me a PM and I'll run over there this week and double check on those things, and send you some pictures if you'd like.

Sounds like you were following too closely. I'm surprised it isn't totalled. It doesn't take much on these cars. Hope you can keep the car alive.
