So I'm sitting in my new(to me) is350 on my lunch break and out of the corner of my eye I see something coming towards me. I look up and I see a shopping cart hauling ***. I reach for the shifter but it was too late. It hit my car at what must have been at least 25-30 mph.

I'm looking for advice on e best way to fix this. I'm paying a lot of money for this car so I don't want to just glue the grill and hit the bumper with some touch up paint. It will look like crap right? The bumper painted from Sewell is 700 plus shipping and I still have to get it installed. I really don't have that laying around as I'm getting ready to buy a house. Anyone had luck with eBay or certain bumpers and grills? Any other ideas?

What's hard to see in these pics is that the grill is pushed all the way in and cracked in half. The emblem is also cracked in 3 places.

Just buy a grille and emblem from eBay. Not even $100 for both. Easy to install as well. As for the scuff to do it right you gonna have to pay for that.

Honestly it not that bad a body shop may charge you 300 to fill and repaint the bumper and you should be able to get. A grille surround and grille for less than 200 so all together maybe 500.

Get the FSport grille, and a new emblem it will probably be around $100 from eBay for both, or you can try the classifieds they pop up for sale sometimes.

I've used a mobile paint repair with good results. Depending on your deductible, this might be covered under your comprehensive insurance.

Yes they fit right into the surround, I got one recently and I love how it looks.
