So I got backed into last night. Grille and surround are trash, hood is damaged, passenger side headlight is trash..I can replace all of these items with relative ease. My question is, the fiberglass grille support is also damaged. How do I replace this? Do the fenders need to be removed?

How damaged is the support? A lot of guys are cutting most of theirs out to put light bars back there.

Yea the composite sub-frame behind the grill is replaceable as well. Check out LMC for part info, then find it cheaper on the web or at fleabay.

And no , no need to remove the fenders.

Well, the guy won't respond to my messages so I'm filing a police report and getting my insurance involved to track him down and hopefully get his insurance to pay. Wish me luck guys.
