suggestions?

[panther5]

hey just got in an accident the other day, other guys fault - older guy ran a stop sign and i hit the rear of his car and owned it pretty good- my tahoe needs a new front bumper, grille, and headlight. was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for replacements and where to find them as well.

If it were me I would try EBAY and Craigslist first. Then maybe CAR-PART.COM.
Since its busted up I would take the time to experiment with a new look for your rig. Just my opinion.
Good luck with your repairs!

Are these Tahoes anything like s10s? Where you can change the front end from a 96 to a 2000? Sounds like all you would need besides the parts you listed is a radiator core support. Just a thought. Def. go for a after market look IMO.

front ends didn't change until the newer 2000's and its alot more rounded.

you could drop on the denali or escalade front end conversion though.

yeah Ebay and Craigslist is a great place to look... and I think OEHQ.com

and LMC truck for replacement parts....

The Denali front end conversion would be a cool addition... course, I'm biased there. I think I saw it in Truckin' for about 1K, so Im sure you can get it for less than that. I think you get the new front plastic grill, lights, the bumper, and the hood, and other mounting parts.. but not positive.

You can do the escalade... or denali - or 53 chevy... or.. jus buy a smoothie bumper, you can get them with billet inserts and fog light inserts.. your grille if it where me.. and you didn't want to go any other route than back to square style.. id def. go with a gmc grille instead of chevy.. and put a billet grille in it - they are very easy to put in.. and to me it just looks better.. Which i cant not remember at all where i seen that 53 chevy front end.. i'm searching all over trying to find it.. i know it is online.. - But i also seen it at the Food Lion Auto-Fest At Lowes Motor SpeedWay in Charlotte NC one year...

ive seen the 53 front end, but it was in a magazine awhile back.

the escalade/denali conversion i saw listed came with hood, radiator support, lights, grill, bumper, and i want to saw the front fenders were different as well.

if they made offroad bumpers that contoured to the denali grill i'd put one on my truck. love the light set-up along with the big open grill

Ive seen that 53 Online as well.. but it was well over $2k and all fiberglass..
