Do all vehicles have cheap plastic ones like on our trucks? Mines broken in so many different places from leaning on it when trying to work under the hood. had to make zipties my best friend in order to hold the bezels in place haha.
Anyone know where i can find a replacement one for less than $100? Other than a junkyard (checked all local ones, no luck )

 

Forgive my ignorance, what are you calling the header panel? The only things plastic on my front end are the headlight trims and grill.

 

Its what your grill and headlight trim mounts to... which is also plastic haha

 

Okay, just got done removing my grill to mount my horns behind it. I've been under the hood of my truck hundreds of times and the only thing I've broke was a corner of one of the headlight bezels. I'm no light weight either! Here's one for $50 new.

The grill and headight trim mounts to the radiator support, which is metal. On my '87.

 

Its the next thing after. The panel mounts the the support and grill and lights mount to the panel

 

With $70 shipping.... haha

 

Truck freight ain't cheap.

 

Your model may very well be different. The header panel mounts to the radiator support and the grille/bezels mount to the header panel... on mine

 

Okay, try this on for size......$50.93 with shipping. You gotta get better at googling. Lol
