we all make mistakes...

hey you must not mow much grass... man i rub stuff (although just barelly) with lawnmowers atleast a fwe times a year. usually stuff like the concrete blocks under the house, the bark of a tree.....

wehn i was on my learner permit there was a weird bar in the groudn, with holes in it, and it was silver. the bright sun hid it from my eye. the suburban still has a scratch in the side to this day from it. forutnatly, its in the silver so it doens't stand out.

i know it shakes you the first time you hit something. you think your a great driver, better than most, and then you do something like this. i know teh feeling, just put it behind you as quickly as you can. but trust me, that bump will make you twice as observant for a long time to come, and you'll be a better drive becasue of it. look on the bright side, itw as your mothers car, not a member of the MCF!!!! (trust me, theres people here who would probably seriously injure you for this)

GM (around here anyway, damn you Charles Boyd, Bobby Murray, and Chris Leith) think their stuff is gold. If Wisconsin GM dealers are like the local guys here, you're better off getting aftermarket or the junkyard. Space had a link for awhile to GM parts from some liquidator.. but I never saved it. They ahd the stuff like you are looking for. Look it up on Google.

Hi Jeremy,
I'm sorry to read about your accident, but
it seems to just be another part of life that we all have to deal
with during our journey. It's done, it's over, and it's another
test on how we deal with bad zhit that happens in our life.
I've searched for just the cover, and could not find it either.
I would suggest calling your local Chevy Dealer Parts Dept., and
get a price quote. If it's to high, then I would search the
local auto salvage locations to see if they have one.
I wish you Good Luck in your search, in your life.

Try gmpartsdirect.com.

There's a couple other GM suppilers on the net that may be able to help out and possibly J.C. Whitney?

Sorry to hear your car gotdamaged. Once when they were building the addition on the barn they had a metal rod driven in the ground. I backed my '86 LS into this stupid metal rod and put a bruise on the back bumper cover.

I still see it there although many will say they don't.

Good time to goto Euro lights off ebay if you ever wanted to do it.

As far as boneyards in the area - nothing American Metals and Diamond have nothing. Might have a chance at... damn can't think of its name now. Umm I think it begins with a G and it's by the Outagamie county airport. Otherwise you could try Kaukauna... haven't been there in awhile. They are about 1/2 mile down from WIR. Take 55 through Clintonville, Sherwood and in Kaukauna take a left on KK. Down about 2 miles.
