    Oof, your damage is a lot more extensive. I'm lucky, nothing was damage that needed welding, it's all bolt-on pieces. That center bracket that the bumper cover bolts to, the passenger side bracket that bolts to that, the central pillar that attaches to the hood latch, and the bumper reinforcement itself. And a few clips and rivets. As much as a pain as it's been, I consider myself lucky.

    Lol damn, that'd have saved me some headache. I thought I'd combed the buy/sell/trade well enough, guess not because I missed yours. Honestly with the parts I've needed to buy and the prices from Rock Auto, shipping your bumper to me probably would have cost about the same or maybe a little more. Not that yours is price unfairly or anything. Shipping is a bitch is all.

    I'm in Clearwater, and I'm actually going to Orlando tomorrow, but it's alright. I've got a full schedule tomorrow and I'm flying out to Dallas on Sunday. I've got all the parts I need, they weren't very expensive. I wouldn't want to hassle with returning them all at this point. Someone else will need it I'm sure. Thanks though, I appreciate it.

    Alright. If you change your mind it can easily be yours.

    If that beam is hollow and open on the ends, just put some 3/8” bolts and locknuts, with some clipped washers on it and be done with it.

    yep, just drill out the rivets and swap the brackets and install new rivets you’ll be good to go. And yes you’ll use that tool again.
