please help need help on where to find new front bumper for 2004 monte
So pretty much last night i was in a parking lot going a solid 25 mph then didnt even notice i was on a huge sheet of ice went to turn to get around big snow pile that was approximently 50 feet ahead of me...went to turn went to brake car slid into snow pile. Once i got the car out i was devistated to relize the damage done to my front bumper. No doubt i need a new one. Anyone know the cheapest way to get a new bumper? I was thinking maybe junkyard then have someone paint it?

On ebay, someone is always selling "aftermarket" bumper covers on there. Its just a matter of if they are the perfect fit compared to original bumpers. Good luck with that one because I am lookin for the same thing (but for both, front and back) and also the body kit at the bottom. Now craigslist, I haven't purchased anything off there.
Whateva you come up with, let me know...:-)

www.car-parts.com, nice little search engine to search multiple junk yards. If you have a pull-a-part, try there (but I think 6th gen Montes are hard to find at Pull-a-Part).

@ The_Maniac: Yeah they are hard to find. I went yesterday to find one and none came up on the search menu...LOL I know I called a few places and one said $350 for the front bumper and $420 for the rear....SMH I asked the guy "why so much for each" and the man said "we try to get every dollar we can".
I wouldn't dare pay for a bumper that much. Like RickAKATed10 said, rockauto.com has some cheap bumpers but they have only the front ones...
The rear I must search for!!!!

As for cost, I am currently looking for a '06-'07 vertical spoiler and MAN, people want a MINT for those. But keep in mind, they are SUPER rare right now (that year range is too new to be junked for problems and is not common to being totaled, it still holds good value).
Using that site, I found a couple of leads on the spoiler (just not ready to pull the trigger on it, but I found better prices).

Yeah I'm noticing all the monte carlo parts are high every where. What I was wondering by me having the ss body kit (that's molding already on to the car), do I have to cut holes on the front and back to put the pace style body kit on or change both bumpers completely?
